Eyran Katsenelenbogen (born July 5, 1965) is a jazz pianist.
Eyran Katsenelenbogen is a pianist who has performed throughout the world. In 2009, he released his tenth solo album, titled 88 Fingers, with a concert tour that included venues in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East.
Eyran’s recordings have been reviewed by jazz publications such as Jazziz, JazzTimes , Jazz Journal International and All About Jazz, which stated in its recent review: "88 Fingers is truly a virtuoso's work. Perhaps Katsenelenbogen is most in league with Art Tatum for this fact: he sets the bar towards which other pianists must strive."
A classically trained pianist with a jazz style, Eyran has performed and recorded in venues such as the Iridium Jazz Club, New York; Teatro di Marcello, Rome; the Tel-Aviv Jazz & Blues Festival; the Bechstein Centrum, Hamburg; Mirrors Hall, Saint Petersburg; Scullers Jazz Club, Boston; Saint Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, UK; and the Glenn Gould Studio, Toronto. Radio and TV appearances include WGBH (FM), WERS and WHRB, USA; BBC Radio York, UK; Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA), and Radio Télévision Belge Francophone (RTBF), Belgium.
In addition to solo touring, Eyran has also performed with his Pictures At An Exhibition: Classical Meets Jazz collaboration with Russian classical pianist Andrei Ivanovitch. Following performances in Germany and Russia, the American premiere of Pictures At An Exhibition: Classical Meets Jazz took place at the landmark Jordan Hall in Boston on May 24, 2009, and was released on DVD the following year.
In 2014, Eyran has toured the east coast of China with pianist Tal Zilber. During their Piano Fight concert tour, Katsenelenbogen and Zilber performed at the Dalian International Conference Center, the Hai Tian Grand Theatre Hotel, the Weifang Culture and Art Center, the Taiyuan Poly Great Theatre, the Henan Art Center in Zhongzhou, the Wuhan Qin Tai Grand Theatre, the Xuzhou Concert Hall and the Hong Tai Center in Xiamen.
