New York based, Berkeley-raised pianist Ethan Ostrow returns to California for a unique solo piano set of original music, fresh takes on jazz standards, and music that bends the confines of genres altogether. Having led a double-life as an actor for many years, Ethan understands the power of storytelling, and brings it to his music in every performance. He strives for an intense, lush sound, and demonstrates deep personal expression.
