Dave Kikoski has been one of the great jazz pianists ever since he joined the New York scene in the early 1980s. Since then, he has worked with the likes of Roy Haynes, Bob Berg, Randy Brecker, Billy Hart and many more. As a performer, he treasures his own style, seasoned with swing and with roots in the post-bop tradition. Solo, he has signed twenty works, with titles such as Presage (1989), with Eddie Gómez and Al Foster, Consequences (2015) with Christian McBride and Jeff 'Tain' Watts and most recently Phoenix Rising (2019) and Sure Thing (2021), both released by High Note Records.

Grammy Award winner in 2011 as a member of the Mingus Big Band, Kikoski has also been a sideman for Michael Brecker, Ravi Coltrane, Chris Potter, Dave Holland, Roy Hargrove and Toots Thielemans in addition to being part of the supergroup Opus 5. At Jamboree, where he triumphed with Wayne Escoffery at the last edition of the Mas i Mas Festival, he will offer a repertoire of his own songs mixed with those by McCoy Tyner and Chick Corea. “His style is brilliant,” said Corea of ​​Kikoski. For his part, Haynes declared the following: "Dave has a lot of 'feeling', he can play anything."
