About
Bassist Peter Brendler grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. He began his musical studies on electric bass, but soon gravitated towards the upright bass. In addition to playing upright and electric bass, Peter also plays guitar and piano. He received his Bachelor of Music degree in 2001 from Berklee College of Music where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. While at Berklee, Peter was selected by the bass faculty to receive the John Neves Scholarship: a merit based scholarship awarded to an upright bassist who shows outstanding promise and commitment. During his time at Berklee, Peter performed extensively throughout the Boston area, and studied with such greats as Hal Crook, John Lockwood, and Bruno Raberg. After completing his studies in Boston, Peter relocated to New York.
Peter returned to school from 2002-2004 and earned his Masters in Music from the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. While at the Manhattan School of Music, Peter studied with famed bassist, Jay Anderson, as well as other musical luminaries such as Dave Liebman, Garry Dial, and Phil Markowitz. Peter balanced his academic work with an increasingly demanding performing and recording schedule. In the fifteen years that Peter has been in New York, he has made numerous sideman appearances on various recordings of all styles. He has also performed at several world famous venues in New York, and throughout the country including The Blue Note, Birdland, Smalls Jazz Club, The Jazz Standard, Sweet Rhythm, The Kennedy Center and the 55 Bar. Peter has also performed throughout Europe and in Russia. He has performed and/or recorded with artists such as John Abercrombie, Rich Perry, Victor Lewis, Barry Altschul, Darren Barrett, Jeff Hirshfield, Frank Kimbrough and Jon Irabagon. Peter also maintains an active career performing and recording on electric bass. In addition to his sideman credits, Peter has also recorded three albums as a leader/co-leader: "The Angle Below" (Steeplechase), "Outside the Line" (Posi-Tone), and this most recent release "Message in Motion" (Posi-Tone).
The winner of the 2008 Thelonious Monk Saxophone Competition, Irabagon has since topped both the Rising Star Alto Saxophone and the Rising Star Tenor Saxophone categories in the DownBeat Magazine Critics’ Poll and been named one of Time Out New York’s 25 New York City Jazz Icons. Jon was also named 2012 Musician of the Year in The New York City Jazz Record. An integral member of such high-profile ensembles as the Dave Douglas Quintet and the Mary Halvorson Quintet, as well as an established bandleader in his own right, his list of current projects includes Rudy Royston's 303 and Mike Pride’s From Bacteria to Boys as well as a longstanding partnership with legendary drummer Barry Altschul.
A native of Vancouver, Washington, Zach Lapidus is a pianist, electronic musician, and composer based in Brooklyn, NY. As a jazz pianist, he has performed with Rich Perry, Caroline Davis, Frank Glover, Slide Hampton, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Wycliffe Gordon, Claudio Roditi, Corey Christiansen, Derrick Gardner, Jon Irabagon, and Bobby Watson, among others. His work as a sound designer and performer on keyboards and modular synthesizer can be heard in the bands and recordings of Corey Christiansen, Jeff Miles, Frank Glover, and Sergej Avenesov.
Prior to his relocation to New York City, Zach was based in Indianapolis, IN, establishing himself as a staple performer in the Midwest jazz scene with frequent residencies and performances in clubs, festivals, and major venues in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Chicago. A long-time collaborator of clarinetist and saxophonist Frank Glover, he performs on Frank's records Abacus, mīm, and Futureclef. Their work as a duo is documented in the American Public Television documentary Take Two. He is a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington's Jacobs School of Music, where he studied with Luke Gillespie and David Baker.
In both 2011 and 2015, Zach Lapidus was selected as one of five finalists nationally in the American Pianist Association's Jazz Competition. His playing has been featured on broadcasts of NPR’s Jazz Set with Dee Dee Bridgewater and Morning Edition, as well as on WBGO's Jazz Night in America with Christian McBride. His arranging work has been heard on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. As an educator, has taught masterclasses in piano and the electronic music software SuperCollider and Max/MSP at universities, festivals, and community music centers around the country.
