Pianist Jonny King's website features reviews, sound bites, itinerary, books, biography, cds.
Described by Downbeat as "one of the strongest piano voices of the new generation," Jonny King has played jazz piano since the age of nine. He was born in 1965 in New York City, where he made an early acquaintance with piano legends Teddy Wilson and Earl "Fatha" Hines. Exposure to these seminal pianists, along with an impromptu performance with Dizzy Gillespie when King was only ten years old, fueled King's interest in jazz.
Although King is primarily self-taught, he did study privately in the early 1980s with the late bebop pianist Tony Aless and rising star Mulgrew Miller, who would become one of King's key mentors, Whenever school or another gig allowed, King also spent his free time in the fertile environment of Manhattan's jazz clubs. By the time he was a teenager, he was already working as a sideman in the New York clubs, and he found himself sitting in with the likes of Art Blakey and many other jazz qreats.
King's musical career has taken him all over the world, and he has played extensively throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia. As a bandleader, he is a regular presence in the New York club scene, where he often features his own ensemble at Sweet Basil, The Jazz Standard, and the now defunct Bradley's and Visiones. As a sideman, he has toured the world as a member of Joshua Redman's Quartet and performed with the Blue Note Records cooperative band, OTB. He has also been privileged to work with many of today's finest musicians, including Christian McBride, Ralph Moore, Bobby Watson, Kenny Garrett, David Sanchez and Joe Lovano, Roy Hargrove, Tom Harrell, the late Eddie Harris, Jesse Davis, Randy Brecker, Vincent Herring and numerous others ...

Welcome to CK On Line. I have always enjoyed giving something back to such a wonderful field such as music and so I have been teaching its fundamentals for many many years. I’m really excited about now offering this service on line. Of course I still do private lessons for those who live in the Los Angeles area or want to come and visit but now with the Internet and e mail and sound file attachments, I can reach a lot more of you. I will also eventually be offering downloadable standard lessons on various topics such as rhythmic independence, chord substitutions, jazz improvisation, sight reading, musical styles, intervallic playing, and more…. but to be honest, even though these prefab lessons will be exceptionally good, a) they are already covered in my books and tapes that I urge you to check out and b) there’s no substitution for private custom lessons as each student is different. Of course you are welcome to do both, that is, download any prefab lesson on the topic of your choice and enroll in CK on line for custom private instruction ...

Pianist Peggy Stern's website features biography, activities, recordings sound bites, newsletter, etc.
Peggy Stern is as well-known as a composer as she is known for her fine piano playing. She arrived at jazz via classical music, R&B, and salsa. Her music has a particularly broad ethnic base -- in addition to European and American classical music, Peggy's music draws from Brazilian, African, Jewish, Irish, Cuban, and traditional jazz influences. Eclectic indeed!
Peggy has composed, played, recorded, and toured in a wide variety of situations: from solos to octets to jazz choruses. Her compositions range from highly original pieces to reharmonized jazz standards. "Everything she writes wants to dance, " says Ken Dais of Jazziz.
Peggy's background would account for her varied musical tastes. She began playing Classical piano at an early age, continuing her studies at the Eastman School of Music, and finishing a Masters Degree, still in Classical music, at the New England Conservatory. And then she began to improvise. While living in San Francisco, she played in salsa bands, notably Azteca and Supercombo with Benny Vallarde. She did a stint in an R&B band (called Cat's Cradle) with singer Linda Tillery, and was "instructed" by Paul Jackson (bass) and Mike Clark (drums) of Herbie Hancock's Headhunter band ...
