Mu Phi Epsilon Sunday Concert: Jerry Samuels Jazz Piano February 8, 2009

Jerry Samuels, a professional pianist for over 40 years, maintains a busy schedule as a private piano teacher at his home studio in Dallas. He presently accompanies the award-winning Brookhaven Vocal Jazz Ensemble and teaches jazz piano lessons there. He has toured with the Fort Worth Symphony and was formerly the Music Director of the Cincinnati Playboy Club. In December 2004, Jerry released a double CD set with distinguished bassist Al Wesar - "Samuels and Wesar Perform the Music of Clare Fischer" - which has been very well received. Former students have won many awards over the years including the #1 high school jazz pianist in the State (two years), two students who toured internationally with the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra and one with Glenn Miller. Another student is currently on a national tour of Cats. This will be a solo piano recital featuring the music of Bill Evans, Clare Fischer and Oscar Peterson.
