Pianist Jon Weber is a musician with flawless technique and boundless imagination. His brilliantly crafted spontaneous orchestrations and encyclopedic musical knowledge easily place him in the rarefied company of today’s elite jazz musicians. Jon has played all over the world from his home bases of Chicago and New York, and along the way has composed and arranged for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, jammed at the piano with Stevie Wonder, recorded a tribute to Jay Livingston and Ray Evans (at their request), and thrilled critics and audiences with his virtuosity. His 2004 CD Simple Complex received critical raves. A perennial favorite at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival, Jon pays a rare winter-time visit to one of his favorite jazz haunts.
