Jon Ballantyne Quartet

Canadian-born pianist Jon Ballantyne grew up in a jazzfriendly musical home, before formal piano studies led to a scholarship and mentorship at the hands of guys like Dave Holland. Several tours with Joe Henderson followed, as did seven acclaimed albums as a leader. Based in NYC for the last decade, Ballantyne is a fiercely creative bop-based player who gets festival dates all over Europe and North America. He’ll be appearing with his NYC band mates: Boris Kozlov bass, Jeff

Hirshfield drums and Douglas Yates saxophone/bass clarinet
