Yeager most recently released New Songs of Resistance, a “musical reflection of troubled times and a search for affirmation nonetheless” (Boston Globe) that has been called “one of the best albums of 2019 in any style of music” (New York Music Daily). He plans to record the music from &quot;Unstuck in Time: The Kurt Vonnegut Suite&quot; later this year, for a 2022 release coinciding with Vonnegut&#x27;s centennial.Yeager has worked with such noteworthy artists as Luciana Souza, Greg Osby, George Garzone, Sean Jones, Sara Serpa, Jason Anick, Randal Depommier, Fleur Seule, and Julie Benko, among others. Since 2012, he has taught piano at Berklee College of Music. www.jasonyeager.comInstagram/Facebook: @jyeagermusic----“...[Jason] always impressed me with his talent, his curiosity and his desire to create his own music while really investigating the jazz piano tradition.” -Fred Hersch, Grammy-nominated pianist/composer and Doris Duke Fellow“An individualist with a high concept, [Jason Yeager’s] music contains grace and color and a great deal of depth.” -Greg Osby, renowned saxophonist/composer “An incredible composer and musician...[who] surprises you like a thunderbolt.” -Ran Blake, pianist/composer, MacArthur Fellow
