Stan Hope

As a young child we were young in Atlantic Town, Stan Wish and his close friends would climb the roofing from the building across in the club where in fact the Count Basie Orchestra was using. Hearing Basie’s music group which boasted, amongst others, Lester Youthful, Buck Clayton, and Freddie Green, Wish begin convinced that this is what he wished to perform. He was pressed over the series when his aunt provided him information of Erroll Garner playing “End up being Anything” and Garner’s structure “Pastels” for his birthday. Both these music show up on Hope’s record Pastels, designed for Savant Information in 1998. Wish has small formal piano education, teaching himself on the piano his mom bought when he was a decade old. He performed professionally for a decade before acquiring some lessons in order to find out to read. Using a profession beginning in 1949 (at his first gig, he performed electric guitar), and spanning 50 years, Wish has used lots of the giants who habituated East Coastline jazz locations. Coleman Hawkins, Hank Mobley, Lorez Alexandria, Johnny Hartman, and Hank Crawford had been just several performers he’s distributed the stage with. Wish has performed and is constantly on the play at main jazz locations in NEW YORK, including Birdland, the Community Vanguard, as well as the Blue Be aware. Since 1985 roughly, Hope provides occupied the piano seat for vocalist Etta Jones and tenor saxophonist Houston Person, and sometimes recorded together. His record Pastels is certainly his second as head, having cut an record for Mainstream Information in 1972. With a good, reliable style designed by Erroll Garner and Bud Powell in addition to by the countless variegated jazz performers he spent some time working with, Stan Wish is going to get into his seventh decade as an operating jazz pianist.
