Praise for ‘Sub Rosa’

“Sub Rosa demonstrates that Julian Shore now plays a key role in the evolution of the jazz piano trio. There are moments of quiet introspection, bursts of vibrant energy, and passages of melancholic beauty, all interwoven with a thread of understated elegance.” -All About Jazz ★★★★½

“Shore and his superlatively sympathetic rhythm section are confident enough in both their playing and the compositions to hold back, and leave space for the audience to participate: the music does the talking, dropping hints rather than spelling everything out, trusting the listener.” -jazzwise ★★★★

“Arguably, the most appealing quality of the music of Julian Shore—aside from its obvious exquisite melodicism—is how the melodic focus doesn’t bend or crack, even when it undergoes intense pressure. In some instances, the way a piece re-enters a melodic interlude—as if it’s launching itself skyward from ground erupting beneath its feet—is nothing less than stunning.” -Bandcamp

“Shore's trio is tight yet volatile, and Nevin and Mednard are dynamic collaborators. Sub Rosa is one of the essential piano trio recordings of 2025… Shore’s patient searching always brings surprising melodic epiphanies to the surface—revelations that were lingering submerged under his hands all along.” -Stereophile ★★★★½

**“Shore’s Sub Rosa is a quiet masterwork that whispers secrets below the surface” —Paris Moves ★★★★★**

**“Shore’s latest is a mystery wrapped in charisma. His originals are tuneful and progressive, but with a hinterland of unease. A damn fine album…” — The Times (London) ★★★★**

NEWS

I was honored to play on Dave Stryker’s new record ‘As We Are’ alongside John Patitucci, Brian Blade and a string quartet led by Sara Caswell. I also arranged the music for strings and contributed a composition of my own. There have been many lovely reviews, but having my name on the cover of Downbeat was definitely a first and something I really appreciate. The feature is very nice!

ABOUT

Pianist Julian Shore is known for his "deep maturity as a composer and bandleader" (DownBeat), and his work as both a versatile sideman, and experienced bandleader has JazzTimes calling him one of the “leaders of the young jazz piano scene.” Bandcamp glows “his melodies are fueled by a powerful blend of contemplation and exploration. It’s just as easy to immerse yourself in any single moment as it is to be swept away by the entire epic journey.”

Based in New York, Shore has become one of the city’s most sought-after pianists. He has performed domestically and abroad with artists as varied as John Patitucci, George Garzone, Dayna Stephens, Gretchen Parlato, Theo Bleckman, Chico Pinheiro, Chris Speed, Caroline Davis, Noah Preminger, Don Braden, among many others. He’s appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center and major venues and festivals worldwide.

As an educator Shore remains active in a variety of settings. He was an artistic consultant for Herbie Hancock’s Master Class for masterclass.com, and transcribed and notated hundreds of pages of Herbie’s piano performance for the course. He teaches privately at the New School, through the New York Jazz Academy, and has presented workshops and masterclasses at universities and performance venues across the globe.
