The Peter Barshay Trio
With Peter Barshay / bass; Matt Clark / piano, and Vince Lateano / drums
The Peter Barshay Trio is an ensemble made up of three acclaimed and experienced jazz musicians: bassist Peter Barshay, pianist Matt Clark, and drummer Mark Ferber. Among them, they have decades of professional experience in places ranging from New York to Paris, Toronto to Tokyo, and Boston to Berlin, working with some of the greatest jazz musicians of the past 40 years.

This trio has a deep affection for the timeless classics of jazz composition, and original approaches to interpreting them. We are delighted to be able to share it with appreciative audiences.
