Bio
Richard is a jazz pianist and keyboardist with a deep love for vintage keyboards, synthesizers, and the expressive world of jazz. With over two decades of experience performing in rock and jazz bands, his playing blends straight-ahead jazz, soul, funk, and Latin influences.
A lifelong student of music, Richard studied at the College of San Mateo and the Berkeley Jazz School, learning from renowned musicians such as Mark Levine, Grammy Award-winning pianist Christian Tumalan, Mike Galisatus, Chuck MacKinnon, Glenn Richman, Howard Wiley, and Frank Phipps.
While his musical journey has included extensive work in recording and electronic music, Richard’s current focus is on live performance, particularly jazz piano. He leads a trio featuring Marley Edwards on upright and electric bass and Diego Kiner on drums. Together, they craft spontaneous arrangements, adapting to the energy of each venue and audience, shaping the music in the moment to create an engaging and immersive experience.
