Described by Downbeat<\/em> magazine as \u201caccessible and thoughtful, lyrical and cerebral,\u201d Keberle has managed to navigate the richly varied avenues of New York City\u2019s music scene with passion and adaptability. Since his arrival in 1999, Keberle\u2019s talents have earned him a place among an array of legends, superstars, and up-and-coming innovators.<\/p>\n Whether leading his pianoless quartet Catharsis or arranging for the little big band setting of his Double Quartet, Keberle draws upon lessons learned while playing alongside masters of diverse forms. Keberle has performed with jazz greats like Maria Schneider and Wynton Marsalis; icons David Bowie, Justin Timberlake, and Alicia Keys; Latin jazz artists Miguel Zenon and Ivan Lins; and indie rock ground-breakers such as Sufjan Stevens. He has also played in the house band at \u201cSaturday Night Live,\u201d on the soundtrack of a Woody Allen film, and in the pit for a Tony-winning Broadway musical.<\/p>\n
