Joel Garten: the Jackson Pollock of the piano Hear emerging composer and pianist Joel Garten take the stage to play an engrossing concert of piano improvisations. His spellbinding work sounds like a meeting of Keith Jarrett and Morton Feldman, two of Gartens main musical influences.. An accomplished musician, Garten was invited by Bryan Adams to give a concert at Adams recording studio in Vancouver. Garten has an interesting and engrossing unique musical sensibility, forged over two decades of engagement with music. He has studied gamelan in Bali, Indonesia, played an impromptu concert in Uzbekistan, and played an improvised concert in a tiny rice farming village in Japan as part of the Echigo-Tsumari Triennial. He had his first CD produced by Jazz FM 91s Jaymz Bee, when Garten was just 13. Gartens music is inspired and influenced by such visual artists as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Giorgio Morandi. Garten is also a painter, writer and entrepreneur, as well as a textile collector. He is in the currently writing a series of artist profiles of new music performers and composers which have been published on the Huffington Post, including an article and interview with Esprit Orchestra conductor Alex Pauk. The Musideum is a musical instrument museum and concert venue in the 401 Richmond building at Richmond and Spadina in downtown Toronto. It boasts a C. Bechstein grand piano, one of the top pianos in the city. It hosts a wide variety of jazz, classical and improvised music.
