Peg Delaney plays
sophisticated piano jazz, drawing from American,
Latin and Brazilian idioms. The trio adds Bill
Delaney on upright bass and features fine, poignant vocals by drummer
Earl
Davis. Peg also plays in solo and duo contexts,
with larger combos, multiple singers, various horns and guitar. The fine arrangements
by Peg
create a rich piano and bass texture to cushion
the vocals and delight listeners.
Peg has been a two-time recipient of the New York State Council for The Arts: Meet the Composer Grant and was semifinalist in the Musician Magazine Best Unsigned Band Competition.
