About Peter Johnstone Trio
Peter Johnstone is a native of Glasgow whose prodigious talents have brought him prominence in UK jazz circles. An intelligent and virtuosic improviser, Peter is in demand in the UK scene and plays with The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, The Tommy Smith Quartet, Paul Towndrow Trio, Prime Organ Trio and his own acoustic project, The Peter Johnstone Trio.
The trio features drummer Stephen Henderson, a member of the award-winning Fergus McCreadie Trio, and bassist Brodie Jarvie - another Glaswegian musician who has become a cornerstone of European jazz.
Peter is also an accomplished classical pianist, having completed a Masters Degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2016 where he is currently working towards a Doctorate in piano performance and works as a lecturer in Jazz
Peter's talents have been nationally recognised, having won the BBC Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year in 2012, The Peter Whittingham Award with "Square One", in 2013 was chosen to be a Yamaha scholar and was recently named the Gleneagles Scholar in support of his Doctorate studies.
Few musicians can tell a story through improvisation in the way Pete Johnstone can. Every performance is unique, dynamic and beguiling - full of emotional twists and turns, group interplay, and a sense of engagement and fun.
