Coda Live Presents: Jim Erickson Solo Piano
Erickson described by Los Angeles jazz author/reviewer, Scott Yanow, "Jim Erickson is proof if any is needed, that there are major jazz talents performing in the United States outside of New York, Chicago, New Orleans, and the West Coast". Sadly, the Covid-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of his upcoming performance at Carnegie Hall, Scheduled for May 8, 2020. He is listed as a pianist performing in the IBLA Foundation Winners Concert. He was a 2011 winner in the international music competition held at Ragusa-Ibla, Italy.
