Peter Bernstein

Peter Bernstein and the Tilden Webb Quartet are featured in this live set from 2012, recorded at Cory Weeds' Cellar Jazz Club in Vancouver. Jazz musician, label owner and educator Cory Weeds set up the Cellar in Vancouver as a creative space for both local and international artists. The club has since ceased opperations, but we revisit the thriving atmosphere with a live recording from the American guitarist Peter Bernstein, captured at the venue in February 2012. Bernstein is joined by the Canadian pianist Tilden Webb and his trio…

The title of What Comes Next, the latest album by guitarist Peter Bernstein, certainly echoes a question that we’ve all been asking ourselves in recent months. Locked away, wary of leaving the house during a global pandemic, divided by politics and protests, all during the most vital Presidential election in living memory – any one of those issues would spell an uncertain future.

This performance by Peter Bernstein Trio at the New York jazz club Smoke features such songs as "Dragonfly" and "Spring is Here."
Jazz guitarist Peter Bernstein was born September 3, 1967, in New York City. He got his first break while attending the New School when he met Jim Hall, who recruited him for a concert of guitarists as part of the 1990 JVC Jazz Festival in New York. The show was recorded by MusicMasters and issued as Live at Town Hall, Vol. 2. Bernstein quickly began playing with other jazz musicians, notably appearing on albums by Lou Donaldson, Michael Hashim, Larry Goldings, Mel Rhyne, Jesse Davis, and Geoff Keezer.
