Incorporating musical influences from around the world, the Guy Mintus Trio's A Gershwin Playground both heals and inspires as it channels the genius of the legendary George Gershwin into a display of brilliant contemporary art.

Pianist and composer Guy Mintus is a true citizen of the world. Coming from a mixed heritage of Iraqi, Moroccan & Polish Jews, he is based between Tel Aviv and New York. He is a trained concert pianist with the energy of a rock-star and a jazz musician’s sense of adventure, and he’s unafraid to throw his native middle-eastern scales and rhythms into the mix. The Guy Mintus Trio started with Guy’s need to create a musical home in which his different identities and influences can co-exist and come together as a unique, unified voice. The electricity between the three musicians is palpable, and has been described as capable of “taking the entire hall’s breath away” (Barka Fabianova, Full Moon Zine Magazine).
