Pianist-composer Silvano Monasterios was voted “New Artist of the Year (1998)” at the Hennessy Cognac Jazz Search in New York City. He released his first CD that year, Roads Not Taken, which received outstanding reviews in the U.S. and Latin America. In 2006 Silvano formed The Fourth World Ensemble as a further expression of his musical vision. This group showcases his brilliant compositions played by a team of highly inventive players, including the acclaimed Troy Roberts on saxophone. Last summer, they released his latest CD, Fostered, which features all original compositions, including “Avila”, which won DownBeat Magazine’s “College Original Song Outstanding Performance” award (2005), the same year he also won their “Best Jazz Instrumental Soloist Award”. Silvano also composed, performed & co-produced two songs, including the title track, of the 2008 GRAMMY-nominated album The Magician by Sammy Figueroa & His Latin Jazz Explosion. This wonderful CD has been nominated as “Best Latin Jazz Album of the Year”. In 2009 Miami New Times named Silvano “Best Jazz Musician in Miami”.

He has performed all over the world and participated in some of the most important Jazz festivals in America and Europe where he shared the stage with Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, Eldar, Marcus Miller and others.
