Award-winning jazz pianist/composer John Paris returns for his fourth appearance in Kathy Parsons’ house concert series. This will also be a CD release concert for John’s new solo piano Christmas album. Paris received “Best Jazz Album of the Year” awards this year and last year from Enlightened Piano Radio. This year’s award was for his Piano Jazz My Way. Paris made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2015.

Paris’ first instrument was the accordion and he recently acquired a new one that he is anxious to perform with. So this concert will be combination of piano and accordion and will feature a couple of surprises as well! A life-long performer with an impressive resume’, Paris’ concerts are always a special treat!

John Paris has been a featured performer alongside the Minneapolis Symphony, an accompanist to the Moody Blues, and a special guest on The Merv Griffin Show and Jerry Lewis Telethon. His diverse and varied career has spanned four decades. Touring the country’s major cities, he entertained millions as the leader, composer and arranger of his show-band, Atlantis, which was based out of Las Vegas.
