Pianist/composer Frank Kimbrough has been active on the New York jazz scene for 35 years. He has recorded as a leader for Pirouet, Newvelle, Palmetto, OmniTone, Soul Note, Igmod, and Mapleshade. Frank was a founding member and composer-in-residence of the Jazz Composers Collective (1992 - 2005), and played in nearly twenty of its associated groups. He continues to perform solo concerts and with his trio, and is otherwise in demand as a sideman. Frank’s playing has been recognized by his inclusion in the Downbeat Critics Poll each year since 2001, and his recordings are often included in jazz critics' year's-end top-ten lists. In November 2016, Solstice, Frank's debut on the Pirouet label will be released. It features his trio with bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Jeff Hirshfield, with compositions by Annette Peacock, Paul Motian, Andrew Hill, George Gershwin, Maryanne de Prophetis, Maria Schneider, Carla Bley, and one new original.
