“…audacious and exquisite…it comes down to clarity…[Malinverni’s] playing is rich but not cluttered…his harmonic savvy is always in the service of crisp, discreet lines…a wicked pianist”.
Jim Macnie, Village Voice

“Pete Malinverni doesn’t seem capable of playing a dishonest line.”
Fred Bouchard, Down Beat Magazine

“One listen and you’ll know why Malinverni is one of New York’s great pianists.”
M.J. Ryan, Boston Herald

“…exhilarating moment-by-moment creativity. [Malinverni’s] precise, detailed, elegant playing is highly accomplished technically. It is even more successful poetically.”
Thomas Conrad, Jazz Times

“Pete Malinverni is a wild cat…he digs into the piano and emerges with exotic treasure.” Karl Stark, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Since coming to New York in 1981, Pete has established himself as a highly respected presence in local and national club and concert performances, as well as abroad in Europe, South America, and Japan, his work earning him an entry in the Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz, as compiled by Ira Gitler and Leonard Feather. Writing in the Charleston (SC) Post and Courier, Jack McCray called him “a fiery but elegant pianist”, and his varied collaborations stand as testament to his abilities.

He’s performed or recorded in the company of jazz luminaries too numerous to mention (including Joe Lovano, Vernel Fournier, Charles Davis, Mel Lewis, etc.) exhibiting what Enso Fresia of Italy’s Musica Jazz called “an extremely unconstrained and brilliant pianism”. His two NPR appearances on Marian McPartland’s “Piano Jazz”, one featuring Elvis Costello, put Malinverni before a greater public and many of his thirteen his recordings as a leader have earned four star reviews and inclusion on “Year’s Best” lists in several publications, including Down Beat Magazine.

Pete’s latest release, Heaven, follows the Emerging Markets release, produced by Doug Moody from Glass Beach Jazz.
