““Bye, Bye Blackbird” is a jazz standard written by Ray Henderson and Mort Dixon and was first recorded in 1926 by Sam Lanin's Dance Orchestra. There are over 500 recorded versions of the song, including by two solo Beatles – Ringo and Paul – who considered it one of their favorite tunes. Though I haven't heard them all, (!) I like Miles' version. What's your favorite version?

Here are my latest videos. In these videos you’ll see me performing the different instruments “live to video.” This means that I’m actually playing what you are seeing and hearing, not “syncing.” Most of the music is written by myself, but sometimes I’ll perform a cover.

is a jazz pianist/vocalist, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and music educator. He has been making music since the early 1970’s and has 6 albums (and counting) to his name. Peter finds his inspiration in that place where jazz and blues meet, and sometimes anywhere on the roots and branches of jazz and blues. He lives in New Hampshire, USA, and shares his music with the world by creating videos of his songs and compositions, that show him performing all of the (real) instruments live to camera.
