Peter Barshay is a veteran bassist who has
established a strong reputation over the years from his sideman work on
both the New York City and Bay Area jazz scenes. Peter has performed

Born in Washington D.C. on January 8, 1950, Barshay began cello lessons
at age nine. During his year at the San Francisco Conservatory Peter
was able to add one particularly impressive name to his resume. "I
actually got to play under Igor Stravinksy," he explains. "It was for
the official opening of Zellerbach Auditorium in 1968 and they
commissioned Stravinsky to come here and conduct four concerts.”
Peter has played Chez Hanny previously with Steve Lockwood, Michael
O'Neill, Dave Scott, Peggy Stern, and Larry Schneider.
