Biography:
Born
September 3rd, 1967 in New York City, guitarist Peter Bernstein has
been a part of the jazz scene in New York and abroad since 1989. During
that time he has participated in over 60 recordings and numerous
festival, concert and club performances with musicians from all
generations. As a leader, Peter has made five recordings for the Criss
Cross Jazz label. The latest, Heart’s Content, features the all-star
rhythm section of Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier, and Bill Stewart.
While
a student at The New School, Peter met the legendary guitarist Jim
Hall, who asked him to participate in his Invitational Concert as part
of the 1990 JVC Jazz Festival. The event featured such guitarists as
John Scofield and Pat Metheny and was released as a CD by Music Masters.
Hall once noted that Peter “...has paid attention to the past as well
as the future. He is the most impressive young guitarists I’ve heard. He
plays the best of them all for swing, logic, feel and taste.”
That
same year, Peter was discovered by alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson and
took part in the first of four recordings with him. He was a regular
member of his group throughout the 1990s. “Some people just have it.”
Donaldson said. “...most of the time you have to teach someone what to
do, but Peter knows it all.”
Peter has also played with legendary
drummer Jimmy Cobb (Cobb’s Mob), organist Larry Goldings, Dr. Lonnie
Smith, Melvin Rhyne, drummer Bill Stewart, Joshua Redman, Diana Krall,
Nicholas Payton, Lee Konitz, Tom Harrell, and Eric Alexander and
performed in North America, Europe and Asia and making numerous
television appearances.
Peter has taught at the Julliard School,
Berklee College of Music, North Texas State University, the New School
Jazz Program and the Jazz Conservatory in Amsterdam.
Peter has
been fortunate to gain the respect of his peers and mentors. He has been
recognized in both the readers’ and critics’ polls in Downbeat Magazine
for the past three years. He continues to hone his style through
writing and performing and has developed a distinctive and unforgettable
guitar voice that is all his own.
