As a jazz pianist, Mr. Burleson has performed extensively at home and abroad, both as soloist and in many ensembles. The Boston Globe has lauded his jazz performances, praising his “solos filled with complex harmonic and rhythmic figures”, as well as his “compact and dramatic” arrangements of works by such diverse artists as Eric Dolphy and Patti Smith. Mr. Burleson’s work in jazz has also taken him as far as Baku, Azerbaijan, where he performed as both soloist, and with vocalist CoCo York, under the auspices of American Voices.
