Randy Ingram, pianist/composer, has been hailed as “a pianist of taste and resourcefulness” (The New Yorker) and “a formidable composer” (San Francisco Chronicle). Ingram’s latest trio recording for Sunnyside Records, The Means of Response, is an intricate, virtuosic and powerful protest record, and a message of hope and solidarity for his young son. A collection of “exquisitely performed pieces, all composed by Ingram”, (Jazz Times), The Means of Response features his trio of bassist Drew Gress and drummer Jochen Rueckert, two of jazz’s most esteemed veteran sidemen. 

 

Originally from California, Ingram attended the New England Conservatory of Music before moving to Brooklyn, NY, in 2003. He has played with leading musicians including John Patitucci, Billy Hart, Jeff Tain Watts, Ari Hoenig, Tierney Sutton, Ingrid Jensen, Joe LaBarbera, Kendrick Scott, Lage Lund and the late Billy Higgins. Ingram made his acting debut in 2013, portraying one of his heroes, Bill Evans, in the Swedish biopic Monica Z, about the vocalist Monica Zetterlund.
