Adrian Galante is a multifaceted, exciting, young multi-instrumentalist, arranger and composer whose remarkable command of his craft belies his youth.

At a recent appearance at New York’s legendary Birdland Jazz Club, where Galante was accompanied by Jazz luminaries Alan Broadbent, Jay Leonhart and Obed Calvaire, reviewer Andrew Portez described Galante as “..an extraordinary musician who appears to be equally gifted as a clarinettist as he is a pianist.” he continues “The young, handsome Galante is a soft-spoken, knowledgeable performer who knows his craft.. He demonstrated superb breath control, with long, legato lines. Galante’s exquisite lyrical playing created an emotionally satisfying close to one of the best sets this reviewer has heard in years.”

“Adrian Galante is a force… he is one of the greatest clarinetists ever” says bassist Jay Leonhart “I have worked with most of the great clarinet players of the last century, including Benny Goodman, Buddy DeFranco, Artie Shaw, Ken Peplowski and Eddie Daniels. While Adrian Galante is still very young, he will surely become a member of this esteemed club in the years to come (you can’t join until you’re 40). As a pianist he can only be described as brilliant and imaginative”.

Joining Adrian for this performance is a stellar trio comprised of two time GRAMMY award winning pianist Alan Broadbent, prolific bassist and composer Jay Leonhart and current drummer for Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Centre Orchestra Obed Calvaire.
