New York based Pianist, Composer, and Educator Jarrett Cherner was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After completing degrees in Mathematics at Tufts University (2003, Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and Jazz Piano Performance at the New England Conservatory of Music (2004), he returned to the west coast, becoming an active and in-demand pianist on the vibrant West Coast jazz scene.
While based in San Francisco, Cherner performed with (among many others) the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra, Collective West Jazz Orchestra, Travis Sullivan’s Bjorkestra, Kasey Knudsen Sextet, Fred Randolph Quintet, Terrence Brewer, Orquesta Bakan, and ran one of the city’s best weekly jazz jam sessions (JazzOnMonday: with Mike Olmos, DeeJay Foster/David Ewell/Eric Markowitz, & Jeff Marrs) at Grant & Green in North Beach.
Cherner has toured nationally and internationally, performing at venues such as Yoshi’s (Oakland, CA), Jazz at Pearl’s (San Francisco), Jazzschool (Berkeley, CA), JazzZone (Lima, Perú), Jamboree (Barcelona, Spain), La Ve Lee (Los Angeles, CA), Ryles Jazz Club (Cambridge, MA), Jordan Hall (Boston, MA), Rockwood Music Hall (New York, NY), and festivals including Festival de Jazz Lima (Perú), San Francisco Jazz Festival (CA), San Jose Jazz Festival (CA), Fillmore Jazz Festival (CA), Sonoma Jazz Festival (CA), and the Cape Cod Jazz Festival (MA).
In 2005 Cherner recorded his first album as a leader, Burgeoning, featuring his compositions (which received an honorable mention from the ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Awards) and the talented team of Jorge Roeder on bass and Jorge Pérez-Albela on drums.
Cherner is currently pursuing a master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City where he studies with Jason Moran. Previous teachers have included Danilo Pérez, Michael Cain, Jerry Bergonzi, Joe Bloom, & Warren Senders.
As an educator, Cherner has been on the faculty at the New York Jazz Academy (2009-), the San Jose Summer Jazz Workshop (2007 & 2008), the Jazzschool’s Summer Youth Program (2006), Music Maker School (2004-2005), the Talented and Gifted Hispanic summer program at UMass Boston (2003), and Summerbridge San Francisco (2002) in addition to maintaining a private studio.
