We are thrilled to welcome back to the Nocturne stage one of the region’s finest voices in improvisatory music: pianist Vlad Girshevich and his trio. An accomplished performer and formidable improviser, Girshevich is a favorite of audiences all over the Denver area. For this special one-time performance, Vlad will be joined by Bill McCrossen (bass) and Kevin Matthews (drums).

Vlad Girshevich started his formal music training at The Uspenski School of Music in Uzbekistan and spent 11 years studying classical music there. When he started experimenting with jazz in the 11th grade, his instructors gave him a hard time for being too creative with “free” interpretations. Vlad and his family eventually emigrated to the United States in the mid-90s. His first gigs were in Boulder with the Nina Storey Band. Herbie Hancock heard Vlad playing at an event in Aspen and subsequently invited him to participate in the Thelonious Monk Institute at Jazz Aspen/Snowmass.

Vlad is now a Denver resident and a part of the scene playing the 5 Points Jazz Festival, The Santa Fe Jazz Festival, the Vail Jazz Festival, and the Windham Chamber Festival, among others. He has performed with Bob Berg, Stanley Jordan, Ernie Watts, Karen Briggs, Jerry Gonzales, Arturo Sandoval, and Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez. Vlad and his son (drummer Aleks Girshevich), recently recorded and released a record featuring legendary bassist Eddie Gomez called “Algorithmic Society”.
