Peter Zak - Standards

Peter Zak presents himself here as a pianist in his inherently natural format of a piano trio performing standard tunes. His trio is made up of Jay Anderson on bass and Billy Drummond on drums. The program includes classic songs composed by Alex Wilder, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Burt Bacharach, Billy Strayhorn/Duke Ellington, Ray Noble and others. Michael Bailey of AAJ commented on Zak's previous release 'The Disciple' (SCCD31771) that ...The smarter artists, like Zak, add a program or theme to their recordings, something that gives an otherwise disparate collection of pieces some continuity or integrity.Personnel: Peter Zak (piano), Jay Anderson (bass), Billy Drummond (drums)
