Green Sky

Mark Shilansky, called a “superior modern mainstream pianist" by Jon Garelick at the Boston Globe, and his longtime Berklee colleague vibraphonist Rich Greenblatt ("dazzling speed and a truly magical touch" - John Blenn, Good Times) come together for the co-led project Green Sky. 

Their self-titled 2022 debut, on which they were supported by ace rhythm team Greg Toro on bass and Mike Connors on drums, is an upbeat collection of tasteful and grooving original compositions and imaginative arrangements of jazz classics.

Greenblatt has released four other albums as a leader, and teaches in the Ear Training and Ensembles departments at Berklee. Shilansky has released four albums as a leader, as well as a collection  from his jazz/Americana project Fugue Mill. For many years, he has taught jazz piano and ensembles at his alma mater UNH, and ear training, arranging, harmony, and ensembles at Berklee.

For their Dot Jazz appearance, Greg Loughman is in for Greg Toro on bass, and the core quartet configuration will be augmented by guitarist Caio Afiune.
