Two-Time Grammy Nominee Taylor Eigsti (born September 24, 1984) is an American jazz pianist, most associated with post-bop. He also incorporates elements of funk and soul music. He began at an unusually early age and because of this was often called a child prodigy[1] [2][3]. He started studying piano at four and by age eight he opened for David Benoit. He had his first CD, not sold nationally, at 14 with Dan Brubeck on drums and at 15 joined the teaching staff at the Stanford Jazz Workshop at Stanford University.
