Being the great showman that he is,
Ian can alter his show for any venue. No matter what
audience he plays for, they are taken for a wild musical
ride. Ian’s repertoire covers a wide spectrum
of music: Salsa, classics, jazz, new and golden Latin
favorites, Gershwin, 50’s and 60’s on up.
Anything and everything is delivered in his amazing
virtuosic style. Ian will present a delightful evening
whether he is accompanied by a symphony orchestra or
a quartet. Ian is just as comfortable on a naked stage
as he is on a platform covered with confetti cannons
and fireworks. With a vast selection of music to choose
from Ian will perform a concert of any length.
