Billy Test Trio
Coming Down Roses
Pennsylvania native Billy Test is a pianist, composer, arranger, and educator. Currently holding the piano chair in the Grammy award winning WDR Big Band in Koln Germany, Billy splits his time between Europe and the United States, maintaining a busy schedule as a performer, composer, and educator. Billy's piano playing blends the joys and sorrows of jazz and blues with the finesse and harmonic depth of classical music. His warm touch and clear tone can roar with excitement or sigh with woe. His improvisations are always in the moment, preferring to take risks and be daring rather than play it safe. When in the United States, Billy primarily performs with his trio, featuring bassist Evan Gregor and drummer Ian Froman.
