Sonatas, trios, and suites — chamber music written in the Sonoran Desert.
Ian Jamison is a composer based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since 2018 he has written as half of Klein & Jamison, a collaboration with painter and gallerist Jim Klein in which music and abstract painting answer one another — a catalog now spanning sixteen works for piano, chamber ensemble, and orchestra.
His music has been released on Centaur Records, premiered at Steinway & Sons Scottsdale by artists including Steinway Artist Adam Zukiewicz and the Colorado Piano Trio, and recorded with musicians in Europe and North America. His most recent release, Piano Trio No. 2 “Mary Margaret,” drew press across the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain.
Alongside the duo's catalog, he maintains a growing body of solo concert works — four piano sonatas, a string quartet, and the piano cycle Anthrogenesis.
Piano Trio No. 2 “Mary Margaret” has been reviewed by eleven publications across four countries.
