Brendan Brady/Knox Barber Quartet w/ Miki Yamanaka & Tim Green

June 29, 2022 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Brendan Brady/Knox Barber Quartet w/ Miki Yamanaka & Tim Green

Pianist, Miki Yamanaka: 33-year old Japanese-born pianist Miki Yamanaka has called New York City home since 2012 and in the past decade has wasted no time establishing herself as one of the leading personalities of her generation on the piano and beyond. Critics laud her “light, expressive touch and solidly crafted, mainstream approach” – Mike Jurkovic (All About Jazz), while audiences delight in not only her playing, but her vibrant personality as well. Yamanaka has gained international recognition from her albums as a leader; her most recent and most intimate release, “Stairway to the Stars” (Outside In Music), features Jazz masters Mark Turner and Orlando le Fleming. Additionally, Miki has emerged as a leader of the “New York Scene” via her notable residencies at mainstay West Village sister clubs Smalls and Mezzrow. During the pandemic, she developed a successful in-home live-streaming weekly concert series cleverly titled “Miki’s Mood” where she features a veritable who’s who of NYC talent (including her husband and frequent collaborator – drummer Jimmy Macbride). The series showcases her vast knowledge of Jazz standards and tunes, often featuring themed offerings of various composers from both the Great American Songbook as well as iconic Jazz composers.

Bassist, Knox Barber is a jazz bassist hailing from the Washington, D.C. area. He believes in serving the music and the groove to the fullest. Knox is a graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he studied bass with Matt Brewer, Matt Penman, and Scott Pingel. He has also studied jazz with excellent teachers including Paul Carr, Rodney Jordan, and Michael Bowie. Knox has performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Washington’s famous Blues Alley, as well as the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club and many of the D.C. area’s jazz clubs and restaurants.

He has also played at the Monterey, Chicago, and Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festivals. He has shared stages with world-class musicians such as Sean Jones, Warren Wolf, Matt Wilson, Mike Olmos, and Tedd Baker. Knox’s composition and arrangement library is ever-expanding, with recording projects in the works. He has private teaching experience with bass students of varying ages and skill levels. Knox now resides in New York City, where he continues to perform, compose, and teach.

Drummer Brendan Brady is a young up-and-coming performer, educator, and composer based in Baltimore, Maryland. He completed his undergraduate studies at Towson University where he studied with Drummer Frank Russo and Saxophonist Jason Rigby. He worked as a residency artist and studied with musicians such as Kris Davis, Drew Gress, William Parker, and Mark Guiliana. Outside of academia, he has studied with renowned drummers such as Greg Hutchinson, Johnathan Blake, Paul Wells, and Joe Farnsworth.

Brendan has experience both as a bandleader and sideman, performing all over Baltimore, Washington DC, New York, and beyond. He has performed with local and national artists such as Warren Wolf, Ameen Saleem, Jason Rigby, Brent Birckhead, Elijah Balbed, Jeff Reed, John Lee, Noah Pierre, Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He has performed at many venues along the east coast including the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, the Strathmore AMP, An Die Musik, Keystone Korner, Ridgefield Playhouse, Bowery Electric, Club Cumming, Bertha’s Mussels, and many more. Brendan plays Canopus drums and accessories.
