Eddie Pasternak Trio
Eddie Pasternak, guitar. For a quarter century, Eddie has
been a mainstay of the Bay Area music scene. Eddie’s guitar work has
been a welcome feature in swing-oriented performances with former
members of Count Basie and Duke Ellington’s bands as well as in Motown
dance bands. Noted Bay Area music critic Lee Hiderbrand describes him
as a “remarkable guitarist who plays basslines and chords
simultaneously. He generates intense swing.“
Eddie Studied with Warren Nunes from 1968 to 1975, then with pianists
Dick Hindman, Don Haas, and Marcos Silva, and
guitarists Joe Pass and John Stowell.
He appeared at Chez Hanny previously with the Eddie Pasternak Trio
featuring Roger Glenn and Dick Hindman.
