“Pianist Julian Shore [is] a rising star with a wide gaze and a firm sense of self… a sense of personalised sophistication and quiet intelligence.” – Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
“[Shore’s] name belongs among the leaders of the young Jazz piano scene.” – Travis Rogers, JazzTimes

“Sub rosa” – the term conjures shadowy images of secret messages and covert operations, espionage and investigation. Jazz has always been something of a coded language, able to convey deep and complex meaning in abstract form, communicating emotions without explicit explanation. Pianist Julian Shore delivers his own collection of clandestine communications on his compelling new album Sub Rosa.

“Mr. Preminger designs a different kind of sound for each note, an individual destiny and story.” – Ben Ratliff, The New York Times
