about

This is a special episode for young music students. The Maya Keren Trio is a group of three teenagers from the Philadelphia area who already have years of experience in Philadelphia's jazz scene, both as students and as professional performers - pianist Maya Keren, bassist John Moran, and drummer Julian Miltenberger. All three have studied in the jazz program at the Settlement Music School and the Creative Music Program at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. As a trio, they perform original music and standard repertoire from the straight-ahead jazz tradition, but they each draw inspiration from classical music, experimental rock, R&B and more. Julian, Maya and John discuss their successes and struggles as students of music, and they offer advice for any young people hoping to engage with Philadelphia's jazz scene. We recorded this interview shortly after the three musicians graduated from high school, and in the same month that The Maya Keren Trio gave a performance at Rittenhouse Soundworks.
