    I loved Wynton’s performance of “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” at the Kennedy Center Honors. Who was his pianist?

    The pianist is Dan Nimmer. He is currently part of Wynton’s quartet/quintet. Excellent pianist at such a young age. Wynton’s rendition of “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” was simply beautiful. It is always a pleasure to see him perform

    Now that I have Dan Nimmer’s name I can follow his career more closely. I want to hear much more of his work. Thanks, Sonalii.

    of that take of( I left my Heart in San Francisco) on any of Mr. Marsalis’s recordings? Any current releases?
