Pianist Larry Vuckovich


Larry Vuckovich returns to Maybeck once again and will do a program of surprises –selections that are seldom heard, including the ones he hasn’t played in a while. As always, it’ll be a diverse/wide ranging program of rare standards, classic jazz, bebop, Latin/Brazilian, world music including Balkan Ethnic selections, funky/boogaloo, jazz tango, etc.

Vuckovich just received a lifetime achievement award from his home country, the former Yugoslavia.  He will be honored in August at the Nišville Festival in Serbia (8/8/19 - 8/11/19). The Award will honor his legacy of being the only jazz musician from the former Yugoslavia, who has resided and performed with numerous greats in the US for over 60 years. Larry is scheduled to appear at the Nišville Festival in Serbia as a guest soloist with the big band. Larry will also present a jazz piano workshop.

Larry Vuckovich is recognized for his piano touch where he incorporates some European classical themes fused with jazz. Larry is also recognized as a pioneer in the U.S. for combining the Balkan Folk influences with Jazz which is found on his landmark recording “Blue Balkan” featuring Bobby Hutcherson. We hope you will join us for a unique solo piano presentation.
