John Beasley
John Beasley

John Beasley wears numerous hats in the music world: pianist, composer, arranger, band leader and so on and so forth... He has made quite a name for himself and gained the respect and admiration of his peers as well as the movers and shakers in the industry. He has twelve Grammy nominations to his name and actually won two - one of which was for Best Instrumental Album. He has worked with the Frankfort Radio Big Band for a number of years and is currently enjoying the release of their latest collaboration: 'Returning to Forever' (the music of Chick Corea re-imagined as John likes to say). Recently his 'Monk'estra' recordings and public appearances have also raised his profile as a musician with eclectic tastes and universal appeal. His musical partner Magnus Lindgren often accompanies him in the studio and on the road. Fortunately, we caught John just before leaving for Europe and yet another tour. Enjoy tracks from John's 'Returning to Forever' as well as a few from other recordings... all with John's vocal narrative.
