Guitarist

“One of current jazz’s finest small groups” (JazzTimes), the telepathic trio of guitarist Peter Bernstein, organist Larry Goldings, and drummer Bill Stewart is the longest-lived and most virtuosic organ trio in jazz today. Over their three decades as a band, they have taken the organ trio tradition popularized by Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff and Larry Young in the 1960s into fresh territory, recording a dozen masterly albums that combine roiling bebop intensity, gentle ballad work and knotty fistfuls of funk. Their latest release is the 2018 Pirouet album Toy Tunes.

Touring regularly with trumpeter Terrance Blanchard’s band, Charles Altura is a singular new voice of jazz guitar. Adventurous yet melodic, Altura’s own music has elements of many of the great artists with whom he’s toured and recorded, such as the late Chick Corea, Tom Harrell, and fellow SJW alumni Ambrose Akinmusire and Dayna Stephens.

Peter Bernstein gave the classic organ trio format new life as a member of the Larry Goldings Trio in the early ’90s, and his mastery of the idiom and the guitar give him a style all his own. A virtuoso’s virtuoso, Bernstein’s music never fails to excite and delight the audience.
