Peter Bernstein, Larry Goldings,
and Bill Stewart Trio
Guitarist Peter Bernstein, organist Larry Goldings, and
drummer Bill Stewart make up one of the best organ jazz trios of the past two
decades. The respect the musicians have for one another comes through in the
subtle and intricate manner of their musical conversation on stage. Indeed, you
can hear them listening to each other. Drawing mainly on jazz standards, and a
few original pieces, they re-imagine the organ jazz trio in a quiet, sensual, and
grooving presentation.
All members of the Young Lion jazz movement at the close of the 20th Century, and now all firmly established jazz stars, this group has been together for 25 years, making multiple recordings that display their distinctive sound, whether exploring the depths of jazz standards, or playing their original compositions. Jazz enthusiasts recognize the trio for charting new ground with hard-swinging, yet thoughtful music. Peter’s warm, feather-light touch and fluid improvisation with Larry Goldings’ warm hum, and Bill Stewart’s polyrhythmic and melodic focus, create a vivid combination of synergistic playing. With the trio's extensive use of the music's dynamic possibilities, the passion and joy of this amazingly versatile instrumental lineup is there for all to hear.
The group will be touring throughout the 2015-16 concert season. In addition to concerts they also offer master classes and residency programs.
