You can find Julius Rodriguez in many places. You could walk into a packedMeshell Ndegeocello’s The Omnichord behind the piano with energy practically surging from his fingers through the room. You might scroll up on social media and catch him alternating from drums to bass to guitar at the speed of a jump cut. You may also step onto festival grounds and see him on stage either solo or accompanying another likeminded visionary, jamming like his life depends on it. No matter where, the New York-born and Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer electrifies any lane. By doing so, he also transcends perceived boundaries between genres and styles, redefining the music to mirror his own fluid creative inclinations and delivering a sound that’s solely his alone.

Following widespread applause from The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The FADER, and more, collaborations with everyone from Wynton Marsalis to A$AP Rocky, and tens of millions of streams, he grows in as many directions as possible on his second full-length offering, EVERGREEN [Verve Records]. “I kept seeing the word EVERGREEN everywhere,” he recalls. “I looked up the definition, and it struck me. An ‘EVERGREEN’ is a plant whose foliage remains functional for all seasons. That’s similar to how I like to be; I want to be myself no matter the genre I’m playing or what’s going on around me. There are a lot of styles on this record, but it’s recognizably my voice.”

    Julius Rodriguez, whose album Let Sound Tell All was a through line this year for NPR journalist and author Marcus J. Moore. Moore writes….In June, the pianist/drummer Julius Rodriguez released his debut album, Let Sound Tell All, a project so dynamic that even the umbrella of jazz couldn’t quite contain its essence.

  • Julius Rodriguez - Let Sound Tell All is as complete an album as you will get / JazzdaGama
    Posted At: November 4, 2022 12:00 AM
    JazzdaGama's Raul Da Gama writes….I cannot think of a pianist like Julius Rodriguez, who has made such an impression with his musicianship – not just pianism – on a debut recording since Herbie Hancock released Takin’ Off in 1962. And that includes everyone from Elew to Aaron Diehl and Sullivan Fortner. And with good reason:Let Sound Tell All is as complete album that you will get – compositions, interpreta...

    SFCV - Andrew Gilbert writes…Though he’s only 21 years old, New York jazz pianist Julius Rodriguez has already made a powerful impression on the West Coast. He was still a teenager at his impressive Bay Area debut accompanying vocalist Jazzmeia Horn in the SFJAZZ Center’s Joe Henderson Lab in the fall of 2018 as her star rapidly ascended. He returned last August with local-gal-made-good Jackie Gage, bringin...
