Chicago Jazz Pianist Pat Leary

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Chicago Jazz Pianist  Pat Leary .. We talked at length about his new 2024 CD Live at Midnight Tea. Bridging the impressionistic side of classical music with the jazz greats like Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett, Pat creates refreshing and intentional solo piano music that blurs the lines between classical and jazz while also avoiding being muzak. He recorded this live album this past year out of the historic Fine Arts Building in downtown Chicago, across from the Art Institute of Chicago. He grew up learning piano but he only really dove deep into it in his 20s after being moved by Bill Evans. It’s quite a tale. Enjoy.
