Riley Mulherkar

Another one by the brilliant Alexa Viscius

For those fortunate enough to grab a seat or push their way to front of the bar for standing room (guilty) @ZincBarNY, trumpeter @rileymulherkar showed why he had one of last year’s strongest debut albums. Pianist/keyboard player @ChrisPattishall proved a perfect foil. #NYCWJF

Excited for all of the music to come this year. First up: @nycwjf on Friday, January 10th at @ZincBarNY for the Manhattan Marathon. 📷: Alexa Viscius

“The last time Riley Mulherkar played in Hudson was in 2016 at a neighborhood bar. This time, however, he was headlining the festival’s Saturday night at Hudson Hall…” Thx @nycjazzrecord & Tristan Geary for the write-up on our performance at @hudsonhallny! 📷: David McIntyre

"'Riley' flat out IS the best jazz debut in a very long time. And it’s the most important — because it proves, once and for all, that modern jazz is not an oxymoron." Speechless to see my album in the No. 1 spot! Huge thanks to @jazz88 for this honor. jazz88.org/articles/BREAK…
