GUY MINTUS, ISRAELI PIANIST

Description

Israeli born-New York based pianist and composer Guy Mintus recently won the 2nd prize and the audience’s choice at the Montreux Jazz Festival’s solo piano competition was described as a "brilliant musician, who melds a multicultural vision with the passion and fury of the jazz greats.”

His passionate melodious compositions combine elements from Stride Piano to Ottoman Makams, Indian rhythms to Bach-styled counterpoint, Spanish Flamenco to Jewish melodies all weaved together in his own signature style. "Guy is mad scientist,” stated Grammy winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill. “No one does it like him”.
