It's time to discover, learn, and play jazz piano with Kent Ellingson!

Kent Ellingson is a highly respected and sought-after pianist in the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene. He has been a featured pianist at the Sammons Jazz and the Dallas Jazz Piano Society yearly concert series. He has performed in concert with Randy Brecker, Clark Terry, Ingrid Jenson, Phil Woods, and other jazz notables. Currently, he leads his jazz group, the K.
