A-one and a-two and a-you know what to do...!
Come on down and swing along with the best ragtime, stride, and jazz musicians in town.

"Peter Yarin's piano work is a rhythmic marvel...Yarin's solos are concert hall virtuosic." - Jersey Jazz (Journal of the NJ Jazz Society)

Bryant Park is pleased to add Peter Yarin to its summer line-up of acclaimed musicians. Peter is a New York-based pianist and composer working across genres in jazz and classical music. He is the pianist for “Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks” – an 11-piece repertory Jazz Orchestra, leads a jazz trio of his own, and has written several works for musical theater.

Playing with the Nighthawks or as a soloist, Peter’s work has been featured on many soundtracks including “Killers of the Flower Moon”, and “Joker”, as well as on numerous TV series like “The Queen’s Gambit”, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, “Boardwalk Empire”, “The Knick”, and “Mildred Pierce”. In addition, he can be heard on the Grammy-winning CD, Music from Boardwalk Empire, Vol. 1 and the two follow-up albums, as well as accompanying popular artists - Garrison Keillor, Michael Feinstein, and Bette Midler – to name but a few.

Thank you for the music!

Many thanks to Sam Ash Music Stores for their support through the years.
