Matinee: Anthony D'Alessandro Plays George Gershwin: Album Release Show 2

Coming out on the heels of his 2026 JUNO-nomination for City Lights, this album will see D’Alessandro and his band diving into the world of George Gershwin, with stories, songs, and swing in tribute to the legendary composer as well as Edmonton’s iconic jazz club where it was all recorded.

Anthony D’Alessandro is a JUNO-nominated pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader based in Toronto, Canada. Hailed by the WholeNote Magazine as a pianist with a “natural feeling for swing and groove” and “scintillating technique”, and “one of the most impressive young jazz pianists today” by the Jersey Jazz Magazine, he has performed in many notable clubs, concert halls and jazz festivals around the world including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Teatro Nescafé de las Artes in Santiago Chile, Birdland Jazz Club and Smalls Jazz Club in New York City, and Koerner Hall in Toronto.
