Maverick Concerts is thrilled to welcome back acclaimed pianist Marilyn Crispell.
Renowned for her passionate intensity, technical brilliance, and deeply expressive style, Marilyn Crispell is one of the most innovative voices in contemporary jazz and improvised music. With a career spanning over four decades, she has performed and recorded with an array of legendary artists including Anthony Braxton, Gary Peacock, Paul Motian, and Joe Lovano. Her work seamlessly bridges the worlds of avant-garde jazz and lyrical introspection, captivating audiences around the globe.
Crispell’s solo piano performances are hailed for their emotional depth and architectural beauty, often weaving elements of classical music, free jazz, and spontaneous composition into a singular musical language. Whether delivering thunderous clusters or hushed meditations, she approaches the piano with both fearless abandon and profound sensitivity.
In recognition of her extraordinary contributions to jazz, Crispell was named a 2025 NEA Jazz Master—the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on jazz musicians. She was celebrated in a national tribute concert at the Kennedy Center, further cementing her legacy as a vital force in creative music. Additionally, she received the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Vision Festival, honoring her groundbreaking work in free and improvised music.
