Come on backstage ↑ ❧ Imagine a universe where we’re connected by shimmering beams of light, everyone to everyone. One quirk about this universe is that the beams send emotions between us, one million per minute per pair, clearly & effortlessly. Now imagine we already live in this universe except, long ago, we forgot where the beams went. But we’ve always kept music with us: it’s our best way to speak in the old way. ❧ Taiwan-born & reared on-the-go between Taipei and the American Southwest, Eric Pan (a.k.a. pandelic) found his musical footing via a jazz mentorship with Ray Brown at the University of California. These studies propelled him onto stages with Jeff Hamilton and Roy Hargrove, plus over a decade’s tenure as New York City pianist & composer. Pan's compositions and improvisations reveal a relentless pursuit of simplicity, craft, and universality.⠀ ⠀ 2020 saw his 3-album TRAVEL POEMS debut; 2022 his neoclassical EP Lullabies of the Pleiades. Hear him interviewed on-air next to Orson Welles on national radio with PRI’s “The World”, join him in deep conversation with Daniel Lazar on For a Living’s season 10 premiere, and read his debut interview in JAZZIZ Magazine.
