Lunchtime Piano - Show tunes, spirituals & swing at the keys

Originally from Wolverhampton and now

based in London, Pete Whittaker is an

acclaimed jazz pianist and organist.

Grounded in the post-bop jazz era of the

1950s onward, Pete’s playing weaves lyrical

melodicism, soul-jazz, and a deep

undercurrent of the blues into every

performance.

Pete collaborates regularly with many of the UK’s leading jazz

musicians. Alongside his organ trio with Art Themen and George

Double, his credits include Theo Travis’ Double Talk, The Filthy

Six, John Etheridge’s Blue Spirits, Zoe Schwarz’ Blue

Commotion, and a quartet featuring Mark Crooks, Colin Oxley,

and Matt Home.

The programme will include a varied selection of jazz standards,

arrangement of show tunes, blues and spirituals
