Details:
Joshua Kaye began playing professionally as a jazz pianist at the age of fifteen. By the time he was twenty-one, he had held steady gigs in both the United States and England. Since moving to San Francisco in 1996 from the east coast, Joshua has led an active career as a pianist, composer, and bandleader in the Bay area, and can be heard almost daily performing either solo, with his trio, or with his quartet.

The recently released CD "The Joshua Kaye Quartet - Live" features bassist Robb Fisher, drummer Pete Riso, and bongo player Danilo Paiz. Both Fisher and Riso can be heard on several Cal Tjader and Art Pepper recordings. Paiz also played with Cal Tjader as well as Ray Baretto, Ruben Blades, Andy Narell, and Dizzy Gillespie.
