With a mix of jazz, classical, contemporary, and an unwavering passionate energy from start to finish, Adam Narimatsu is a premiere pianist in NYC.
Born and raised just outside of Annapolis, Adam has been gigging professionally since 2011. While almost entirely self-taught on the piano, he studied guitar and music theory under Peabody graduate Bryan Pallett, followed by a year of instruction under jazz pianist, Stef Scaggiarri. His earliest influences were firmly rooted in the blues, especially New Orleans legends like James Booker and Dr. John. This slowly transformed into a love for jazz, and his list of influences grew to include the likes of Oscar Peterson, Brad Mehldau, Bill Evans, and Cory Henry.
Since then, he has performed at some of New York’s most iconic venues, including The Empire State Building, Plaza Hotel, Lincoln Center, and Bowery Ballroom. He regularly performs all over the city as a band leader and sideman, bringing a unique blend of soulful blues, stride left hand, and funk to every setlist.
