Taylor Eigsti - On Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz (2004)

Piano prodigy Taylor Eigsti joins Marian McPartland for a special live taping of Piano Jazz. Eigsti performs before a full house at Seiji Ozawa Hall at the 2004 Tanglewood Jazz Festival in Lenox, Mass. His inspiration emerged from the premature death of his sister Shannon, a jazz/rock pianist who succumbed to cancer when Eigsti was only 3. By age 8, Eigsti's talent was so obvious he was invited to be the opening act for David Benoit.

Taylor Eigsti - Daylight At Midnight (2010)

In his previous CDs he has covered Björk and The Gels, as well as recording his own "Fallback Plan Suite," in three movements, on Let it Come to You (Concord, 2008).

With Daylight at Midnight, Eigsti goes even further, not only interpreting contemporary artists like Coldplay, Rufus Wainwright, MuteMath and Imogen Heap, but featuring a vocalist for the first time: the transcendentally pure and soulful Becca Stevens,, with whom he wrote two of the songs. He also plays with the instrumentation—adding Fender Rhodes, Rhodes PianoBass, electric piano and Melliotron samples—and mixes the terrific trio tracks (with bassist Harash Rhagavan and drummer Eric Harland) with a duo featuring long-time colleague and friend, the wonderful guitarist Julian Lage.

Taylor Eigsti: piano, rhythm piano, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer electric piano, Melliotron samples; 

Harish Raghavan: acoustic and electric bass; 

Eric Harland: drums; 

Julian Lage: guitars; 

Becca Stevens: vocals.
