Eddie Mendenhall

jazz pianist, organist, composer

“I have known Eddie for a few years now and during this time have had the additional pleasure of playing some gigs with him. I noticed that his playing has always evidenced an extensive knowledge of jazz history and a particular attention to melodic development in his improvisations“
Ray Drummond bassist, composer, arranger, bandleader, educator

“There cannot be enough said about the utter brilliance of Eddie Mendenhall as pianist. He is comparable to the Count and Duke. “
CD Baby review by Dr. Mark A. Goral

“Mendenhall features his appreciable piano chops on the perky, upbeat title piece and the light "Lament For The Ocean," both trio pieces, with Sherman sitting out. Connecting on all fronts, Cosine Meets Tangent is an exciting debut from the gifted Mendenhall, with a host of melody-rich material in a high quality gem of an album”
