SKETCHY BLACK DOG plays unique jazz spins of Bowie, Zeppelin, Hendrix, and more. Taking timeless rock songs and originals to places both irreverent and fragile, this piano trio with strings violates and whispers in the ears of its audience.

SKETCHY BLACK DOG is the brainchild of pianist, Misha Piatigorsky, and drummer, Chris Wabich. Wabich has worked with the Zappa family, Sting, Stanley Jordan, Leonard Cohen, and Ludacris. Russian-born and NY based Piatigorsky is the winner of the Thelonious Monk Composers Competition, is music director for jazz legend Mark Murphy and has appeared with Wynton Marsalis, Claudio Roditi, and Michael Brecker.

Since its formation, this piano trio with strings the has sold out philharmonic halls throughout Russia, and headlined the world famous Blue Note NYC and Baked Potato in Los Angeles, but still hasn’t played in Paris….Everyone likes to spend time with their favorite dog… especially if it’s sketchy.
