Known to many as “Dr. E,” Eli Yamin is a bluesy jazz pianist and cultural ambassador whose joyful style has taken him from performing with Mercedes Ellington, Illinois Jacquet, and Walter Perkins to four appearances with his own band at the White House for the Obamas and ten global tours for the U.S. Department of State. His work embraces jazz as a tool for community building and social justice built on the idea that “the blues is the roots, everything else is the fruits.” Yamin inspires audiences of all ages through his performances, jazz musicals for youth performers, community workshops and institute for adults, videos, books, and the extensive reach of the thriving uptown based non profit organization he co-founded and directs in Northern Manhattan, Jazz Power Initiative, a leading concert and education producer uptown.
