A sublime and seductive evening awaits audiences in this intimate concert experience with the Peter Martin Trio. Playing “with the kind of daring and excitement that marks a distinctive personality on the keyboard” (Washington Post), Peter Martin is an acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and educator. He has performed, toured, and recorded with Wynton Marsalis, Chris Botti, Betty Carter, Christian McBride, and Joshua Redman as well as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic. In addition to performing and arranging Dianne Reeves’ Grammy-winning release, A Little Moonlight, he appeared in George Clooney’s 2005 film, Good Night, and Good Luck, and was the featured pianist and an arranger on the Grammy-winning soundtrack. In 2014, Martin was selected to tour with “Newport Now 60,” an all-star ensemble that toured nationwide —including a performance at the Wilson Center!—in celebration of the iconic festival’s 60th anniversary. His first trio recording in eight years, What Lies Ahead, was released last year.
