Pritesh Walia Trio

The Pritesh Walia Group will present an evening of original modern jazz music that explores the convergence of innovative, spearheading harmonic and compositional approaches with synergistic improvisation and masterful technical facility. While having an enlightened aesthetic, Walia’s music truly holds power in its ability to emotionally and empathetically connect with the audience. Walia’s extensive experience of teaching and performing has manifested in him, the ability to establish meaningful connections and experiences through his music. This along with his diverse background having lived in different parts of India, LA and Boston add to his distinctly captivating sound that you can experience as he performs with his group at The Lilypad on 19th. Pritesh Walia will be presenting all original music from his upcoming album "Hope Town" to be released in late 2022.

“Discovering the great concepts of Free Improvising has widened the pallet of my playing forever. In the past couple years I have been very inspired by the music of Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton, Barry Guy and other Free musicians. Getting to play at The Lilypad with my brand new band of Kelly Bray on Trumpet and Brandon Terzakis on Drums is very exciting!” - Aidan O'Connell
