Join acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Michael Ragonese and his trio—featuring bassist Luca Alemanno and drummer JK Kim—for an evening of expressive, genre-spanning music in support of Chasing Calm, his much-anticipated third album, releasing October 10, 2025.Recorded in Los Angeles and featuring saxophonist Walter Smith III, Chasing Calm is a deeply personal exploration of inner peace, blending modern jazz with classical textures and dynamic improvisation.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Recognized by All About Jazz as “a propulsive and unpredictable trio,” Ragonese and his ensemble bring a compelling mix of original compositions, inspired improvisation, and virtuosic storytelling to the stage. His performances—whether honoring classical roots or advancing contemporary jazz—are rich in emotional depth and technical brilliance.
Ragonese has performed and recorded with icons including Barbra Streisand, Ben Wendel, Mark Turner, Dayna Stephens, and Walter Smith III. His earlier albums, Day to Day and Stracci, earned critical acclaim and established his voice at the intersection of jazz, classical music, and his Italian heritage.
This U.S. tour marks the first leg of a global campaign for Chasing Calm, with a European tour slated for early 2026. Expect an unforgettable night from one of today’s most exciting and expressive voices in jazz.
