First and foremost, he is an uncommonly versatile, unerringly exciting pianist who has performed with such music icons as Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard—playing in the bands of both these trumpet legends while still in his 20s—as well as with Dianne Reeves, Steely Dan, Chaka Khan, Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride (and even, for one night, with James Brown).Beasley is also an accomplished composer, and a distinctive arranger who works regularly in film and television, earning five GRAMMY nominations and an Emmy nod along the way. He has worked extensively on soundtracks, primarily for 30 years of famed film scorer Thomas Newman, including the James Bond hits Spectre and Skyfall and Finding Nemo and Finding Dory.
