About Zach Bartholomew
Dr. Zachary Bartholomew is an award-winning jazz pianist, composer, and music educator who maintains an active performance career as one of the most sought after pianists, accompanists, and sidemen in South Florida. In both 2016 and 2017, he placed as one of the top three finalists in the highly acclaimed Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition. Zach has since been featured as a performer, composer, and bandleader at national and international jazz festivals, including the Jacksonville Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Jalisco Jazz Festival, and Festival Miami.

Zach’s original and unique arrangements are inspired by the jazz tradition, but also draw heavily from Afro-Cuban rhythms and modern influences. He and his band are featured on radio broadcasts, concert series, and regionally promoted events all over Florida. He performs with the Sarasota Pops Orchestra, Naples Philharmonic, the Gulf Coast Symphony Jazz Collective and the Lake Wales Jazz Connection. In addition to his active performance career, Zach has taught at the University of Miami Frost School of Music, Broward College, Miami-Dade College, Tiffin University and is currently a faculty member at Florida Memorial University.

As a bandleader, Zach has completed numerous national tours, headlining at top jazz venues in the country. These include Blues Alley, Andy’s Jazz Club, The Jazz Showcase, The Jazz Kitchen and many others. In addition to touring, Zach has performed with artists Sean Jones, Victor Goines, Brian Lynch, Dafnis Prieto and many others. Zach is currently involved in projects such as the state-funded Florida “Jazz Access Tour,” an outreach program that aims to provide underserved communities in Florida with world-class public performances.
