Giorgi Makadze Interview

Giorgi Mikadze Interview Giorgi Mikadze, a Georgian pianist and composer, blends his cultural heritage with diverse musical experiences. Born during the Soviet Union's collapse, he began playing piano at four and trained classically at Tbilisi State Conservatoire. His discovery of jazz, through a composition teacher, led him to Berklee College of Music and later the Manhattan School of Music, where he refined his jazz skills. Mikadze has collaborated with artists like Wang Leehom and Roy Hargrove, and was the first Georgian to perform at the Newport Jazz Festival. His projects often integrate Georgian folk music with jazz, showcased in albums like "VOISA" and "Georgian Microjamz." His latest album, "Face to Face (Vol.1)," recorded in Paris, received critical acclaim. Now an associate professor at Berklee, Mikadze is committed to promoting Georgian music worldwide, celebrating the freedom that jazz offers.
