Hi, my name's Aris! I play music and make videos about it.
I'm a classical and jazz-trained pianist, singer, composer, arranger, and content creator from Ann Arbor MI, and over the years I've had the honor of sharing the stage and playing music with people like Chris Potter, Victor Wooten, Christian McBride, Russell Hall, Kyle Poole, Bobby Broom, Keith Hall, Evan Sherman and many more. I am a mains keyboardist in the band Minor Element. I've performed locally and internationally, trying to make the best, truest music that I can.
My channel is small but mighty (we're getting there). I use this to post videos from concerts, occasional blurbs and whatnot. If you want to contact me, DM me on Instagram or go to my website, both of which are linked below.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Elliot Mason at Western Michigan University (What Is This Thing Called Love?)
Last weekend, I was invited to play at a masterclass with trombone extraordinaire Elliot Mason! He has been member of the trombone section for Jazz at Lincoln Center, as well as playing with Michael and Randy Brecker, Wynton Marsalis and many others. It was a fantastic experience, he made everyone feel at home, equal, and gave an opportunity for us to express ourselves openly. Special thanks to my friend Grant Rupp for capturing the footage, hope you enjoy

Immanuel Wilkins Masterclass at Western Michigan University - Advanced Jazz Ensemble Performance
Переглядів 846Рік тому
Last week, our jazz ensemble at Western Michigan University had the honor of playing for a masterclass given by Immanuel Wilkins, award-winning saxophonist and composer. His music has been on regular rotation for me ever since the release of his album entitled Omega on Blue Note Records, so this was super special for me. His masterclass was incredibly inspiring and informative, while also retai...
Chris Potter at Western Michigan University (It Could Happen To You)
Переглядів 21 тис.Рік тому
Earlier this month, I got the chance to play with and arrange some of the music of Chris Potter, a grammy-nominated, world-renowned tenor saxophonist. This opportunity was possible thanks to the Western Michigan University "Jazz Masters" series, an annual concert that brings in amazing guest artists to give masterclasses and play with the students in a final concert. This video is from one of t...
Thanks man, I really love it.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful playing all around here. Thanks for uploading. Looking at the comments, it’s astonishing the proportion of hate and small-mindedness in the young jazz community. Maybe it speaks to the felt scarcity of opportunities in jazz that they feel compelled to tear people down.
wow drummer....
Wow, nice soloing Aris
Thank you so much!
Link to your socials don't work btw. Also good job! Sounded great
Should be fixed now! Appreciate the feedback and thanks for checking it out :)
Great technical proficiency. I’m not sure I agree with his initial statement of the melody. It sounds like he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the melody and lyrics. A true lover of music and standards keeps the lyrics and melody running through his head for the phrasing and melodic integrity. It’s honoring the composer and the lyricist before you create your own melodies over their song. Having played with some of the best from Chrhistleib to Plas Johnson to Ricky Woodard to Bob Shepard to Bob Cooper and others, I find the bigger the ego the less musical the player.
I think he’s just changing the inflection and rhythm of the melody, it’s very sonny Rollins like. Are you inferring that is complex playing comes from a place of ego rather than serving the music?
This is such a ridiculous comment. 1. True lover of music understands different players bring different elements. You don't have to like what every player brings. 2. If you've ever watched even a single interview with Chris, there is no ego. 3. Comparisons between the greats is pointless, and is only how amateurs think. 4. The amount of work to play like this is astronomical, so to think it's not intentional is again outing yourself. You don't have to like it though.
Bro he's a huge sonny fan, that's the type of stuff sonny did all the time, let him emulate his heroes like we imitate ours lol
So smug
this gotta be rage bait

Great performance, y'all! Really enjoyed the listen. Glad the UA-cam algorithm suggested this video.
Thanks so much for checking it out!
Great opportunity, Aris! Nice playing. WMU does a fabulous job bringing in world-class pros to mentor students. Enjoy your time there! I'm a proud WMU Jazz Studies alumnus.
Thanks so much, Eric! And right on, what do you play? Around when were you a student at Western?

overrated player,James Carter way better than him.
Delusional commenter
@@mrlegitomaki1651 go and listen to james carter first
@@ongtengkee9225I have. James Carter is spectacular in his own right (for different reasons), but Chris Potter is in a league of his own.
@@emmetfettig9196 Carter stunned a lot of older sax players,that is enough.
Bro what is wrong with his neck screw he's been doing that for years just fix it brooooo
Yoda is doing just fine

Everyone has one. Some adjust their neck strap, etc.
