Jahari Stampley | KNKX Studio Session

The excitement level was high as pianist Jahari Stampley opened his session in the KNKX Studio X, and it came from the audience as well as Stampley, himself. "Oh my God," he exclaimed as his trio brought his energetic and demanding tune "Unlimited" to a close. Then he called out his bandmates, drummer Miguel Russell and his mother D'Erania Stampley who was busy switching from saxophone to keyboards to the upright bass. Her son beamed with pride throughout the performance, bragging that "she learned bass eight months ago, and she just got her pilot's license!" The multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist has also been nominated for multiple Grammy awards. Jahari Stampley obviously wasn't exaggerating with his compliments, but it's the 24-year-old pianist who's been in the jazz world's spotlight recently. Stampley won the prestigious Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz piano competition last year and was recently named one of the Chicago Tribune's "Chicagoans of the Year". Most exciting, though, was the recent release of his debut album Still Listening. Joining host Abe Beeson in a post-performance interview were four students of the KNKX School of Jazz: Stephen Filippov, a pianist at Decatur High School; Miles Wieland, a pianist from Bainbridge High School; and two students from Lynnwood High School, saxophonist Tryston Gronning and trumpeter Jaeden Rubio. Filippov and Wieland had previously recorded KNKX studio sessions with their school ensembles and Rubio will host a guest DJ show later this Spring. The students talked with Jahari Stampley about what inspired him to switch from drums to creating music on piano, what cultures outside of American jazz influence his music, and the most important universal lesson he could share about learning music. Stampley opined, "I think it's important to learn how to master your technique in a way that allows you to be comfortable. You don't want to injure yourself playing, you want to prolong your playing." Stampley's playing in this exclusive performance was passionate, dynamic and filled with the youthful energy of the pianist and his favorite drummer. Russell's explosive electronic-beat-meets-progressive-jazz-rock style had the studio audience and his bandleader rising to their feet with excitement. Enjoy this striking, flowing set of music from Jahari Stampley's trio and the charming conversation he shared with our School of Jazz friends. You're sure to feel like part of the family, too.
