Peter Dent - Jazz and Gospel
Peter Dent is a
pianist, composer, choral arranger and Choir
Conductor.
He
is
based
on
the
West
Coast
of
British
Columbia.
Peter Dent is an accomplished jazz pianist and composer. He has the
added advantage of one challenged by the Gospel and its many rhythms.
He is steeped in both the music of the church and jazz, understanding
both generes at deep levels. Jazz, the music of the people, and gospel,
the music of the church come together in a form that honours both while
providing a pleasurable listening experience. Peter has produced
several CD's - click on one of the images below for more details.
