The Guy Mintus Trio will give a CD release concert in celebration of their latest album on ENJA Records, “A Gershwin Playground”. The critically acclaimed release offers a fresh and contemporary take on the canonic repertoire of George Gershwin giving the listener a “superbly creative and thrilling ride” (NYC Jazz Records).

With his third Trio release, Mintus has the honor of joining the legendary ENJA catalog alongside the likes of Chet Baker, Tommy Flanagan, Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy to name a few. After an unusual year, the trio is more than ready to embrace the Terminal 4 stage for a celebratory show that will also include special surprise guests from the Tel Aviv cultural scene.

From the Press:

"His bold reimaginings of each track take listeners on a rocket ride to heights where they can see these tunes as if for the first time."

DownBeat Magazine

"Mintus pours together a mixed brew of influences with ebullient grace that you'd think they all originated in the very same place"

The New York Times

“A prodigiously talented pianist”

JazzWise Magazine

“Fearsome technique and chameleon like stylistic approach… one of the most enjoyable and irrepressible releases of 2020”

All About Jazz

“Guy Mintus reinvents Gershwin with high voltage intensity and a sense of humor.”
