Jazz Bar Friday: Pete Malinverni [Jazz Piano]

Since moving to NYC, Pete has recorded sixteen times as a leader, including in solo piano, piano/violin duet, trio, quartet, quintet, big band and choral contexts. All of his recordings have been received by critics and the public alike and have seen heavy airplay on all platforms, from the radio to the internet.

Throughout his time in NYC, Pete has established performing, recording and inspirational contact with a host of masters on the scene there, including Joe Lovano, Vernel Fournier, Charles Davis, Mel Lewis, Dennis Irwin, Karrin Allyson, Steve Wilson and many, many others. These collaborations have happened in studios and on stages like the Carnegie Recital Hall, the Caramoor Festival, the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, the Rome Music and Image Festival, the Santiago (Chile) Jazz Festival and others, as well as in New York's great clubs, such as the Village Vanguard, Birdland, the Blue Note, the Village Gate, Bradley's, Smalls and Mezzrow.

These experiences, along with his work in inspirational settings such as the Devoe Street Baptist Church in Brooklyn (Minister of Music for eighteen years), the Westchester Reform Temple in Scarsdale, NY (Pianist and Conductor) and the Pound Ridge Community Church (Director of Music), have convinced him that music must be treated as a sacred gift, to be passed on freely to fellow musicians and listeners, with passionate control.

Pete is proud of his work in education, too. After tenures at William Paterson University and New York University, he now serves as Chair of Jazz Studies at the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College, State University of New York, just a few miles north of the City.

Purchase of this double ticket also gives you entry to both this show and our 9pm gig! However if you only wish to attend the 9pm gig, please arrive at 20:30 and buy on the door, as we don't keep guarenteed ticket spaces in the venue after the first show has begun.
