Biography by Matt Collar
A strikingly gifted jazz pianist, Bill Charlap is a swinging and lyrical post-bop improvisor and accompanist, as well as a celebrated interpreter of standards. He debuted in the '90s with Gerry Mulligan and has performed with other jazz icons like Benny Carter, Phil Woods, and Clark Terry. Following a string of well-received albums, he gained wider attention with 1998's All through the Night and 2000's Written in the Stars, both of which featured his long-running trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington. He has recorded albums with vocalists, including his mother, singer Sandy Stewart, and won a Grammy for his collaboration with singer Tony Bennett, 2015's Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern. Charlap has released a steady stream of trio albums, including 2017's Grammy-nominated Uptown, Downtown, 2021's Street of Dreams, and 2024's And Then Again.
Born in 1966, Charlap grew up in New York City in a musical household, the son of Broadway songwriter Moose Charlap and singer Sandy Stewart. Taking to the piano at a young age, he went on to study at New York's High School of Performing Arts. He then entered college, but rather than finishing, he opted to practice and play on his own. Pianist Bill Mays soon took up Charlap's cause, recommending the young man as his replacement in the Gerry Mulligan Quartet. During this time, Charlap also worked with Benny Carter, Clark Terry, and Frank Wess, and was a sought-after accompanist for singers such as Tony Bennett, Carol Sloane, and Sheila Jordan. In 1995, he secured one of the most coveted piano chairs in jazz with the Phil Woods Quintet.
All the while, Charlap showed steady development as a leader. His debut came in 1994 with Along with Me, followed by Souvenir in 1995 and Distant Star in 1996. His 1997 release, All Through the Night, was the first to feature his trio with the redoubtable (and unrelated) Washingtons, Peter and Kenny, on bass and drums, respectively. In 2000, this lineup had its major-label breakthrough with the highly acclaimed Blue Note album Written in the Stars.
Two albums appeared in 2001: 2Gether with Warren Vaché and Contrasts with Jon Gordon. 'S Wonderful hit the shelves in 2002, as did Stardust, which was the first of a series of albums that focused on a single composer. Stardust featured the music of Hoagy Carmichael, 2004's Somewhere was a Leonard Bernstein affair, and 2005's Plays George Gershwin featured ten songs by the man Charlap considers "the American soul." Also in 2005, he released an album with his mother, vocalist Sandy Stewart, Love Is Here to Stay. The concert album Live at the Village Vanguard appeared in 2007.
In 2010, Charlap joined pianist Renee Rosnes for the duo effort Double Portrait. Two years later, he reunited with his mother, singer Stewart, for Something to Remember. In 2015, he collaborated with legendary vocalist Tony Bennett for Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern, winning a Grammy in the process for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. He then returned to his longtime trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington for 2017's Uptown, Downtown. More trio albums arrived with 2021's Street of Dreams and 2024's And Then Again, the latter of which captured the group during a live performance at the Village Vanguard.

Biografía de Matt Collar
Bill Charlap, un pianista de jazz sorprendentemente talentoso, es un improvisador y acompañante oscilante y lírico post-bop, así como un célebre intérprete de estándares. Debutó en los 90 con Gerry Mulligan y ha actuado con otros íconos del jazz como Benny Carter, Phil Woods y Clark Terry. Después de una serie de álbumes bien recibidos, ganó una mayor atención con All through the Night de 1998 y Written in the Stars de 2000, que presentaban su trío de larga duración con el bajista Peter Washington y el baterista Kenny Washington. Ha grabado álbumes con vocalistas, incluida su madre, la cantante Sandy Stewart, y ganó un Grammy por su colaboración con el cantante Tony Bennett, Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern del 2015. Charlap ha lanzado un flujo constante de álbumes de trío, incluidos Uptown, Downtown, nominados al Grammy en 2017, Street of Dreams en 2021 y And Then Again en 2024.
Nacido en 1966, Charlap creció en la ciudad de Nueva York en un hogar musical, hijo del compositor de Broadway Moose Charlap y la cantante Sandy Stewart. Tocando el piano a una edad temprana, estudió en la Escuela Secundaria de Artes Escénicas de Nueva York. Luego ingresó a la universidad, pero en lugar de terminar, optó por practicar y jugar por su cuenta. El pianista Bill Mays pronto asumió la causa de Charlap y recomendó al joven como su reemplazo en el Cuarteto Gerry Mulligan. Durante este tiempo, Charlap también trabajó con Benny Carter, Clark Terry y Frank Wess, y fue un acompañante codiciado para cantantes como Tony Bennett, Carol Sloane y Sheila Jordan. En 1995, consiguió una de las sillas de piano más codiciadas del jazz con el Quinteto Phil Woods.
Mientras tanto, Charlap mostró un desarrollo constante como líder. Su debut llegó en 1994 con Along with Me, seguido de Souvenir en 1995 y Distant Star en 1996. Su lanzamiento de 1997, All Through the Night, fue el primero en presentar a su trío con los temibles (y no relacionados) Washingtons, Peter y Kenny, en el bajo y la batería, respectivamente. En 2000, esta formación tuvo su gran avance en el sello con el aclamado álbum Blue Note Written in the Stars.
En 2001 aparecieron dos álbumes: 2Gether con Warren Vaché y Contrasts con Jon Gordon. Wonderful llegó a los estantes en 2002, al igual que Stardust, que fue el primero de una serie de álbumes centrados en un solo compositor. Stardust presentó la música de Hoagy Carmichael, Somewhere was a Leonard Bernstein affair de 2004 y Plays George Gershwin de 2005 presentó diez canciones del hombre que Charlap considera "el alma estadounidense. También en 2005, lanzó un álbum con su madre, la vocalista Sandy Stewart, Love Is Here to Stay. El álbum de conciertos Live at the Village Vanguard apareció en 2007.
En 2010, Charlap se unió a la pianista Renee Rosnes para el dúo Double Portrait. Dos años después, se reunió con su madre, la cantante Stewart, para Algo para Recordar. En el 2015, colaboró con el legendario vocalista Tony Bennett para Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern, ganando un Grammy en el proceso al Mejor Álbum Vocal Pop Tradicional. Luego regresó a su trío de toda la vida con el bajista Peter Washington y el baterista Kenny Washington para Uptown, Downtown del 2017. Llegaron más álbumes de trío con Street of Dreams de 2021 y And Then Again de 2024, el último de los cuales capturó al grupo durante una presentación en vivo en Village Vanguard.
