Jazz pianist and composer Bruce Barth has been sharing his music with listeners the world over for more than thirty years. In addition to traveling widely performing his own music, he has also performed with revered jazz masters, as well as collaborated with leading musicians of his own generation. And in a recent
review in the Newark Star-Ledger, Zan Stewart writes "No one sounds quite like Barth. His solos are characterized by robust swing, his ability to tell a story, and by his rich, beguiling sound."

Bruce has performed on over 125 recordings and movie soundtracks, including fifteen as a leader. He is equally at home playing solo piano (American Landscape on Satchmo Jazz Records), leading an all-star septet (East and West on MaxJazz), and composing for a variety of ensembles. His trio has recorded live at the legendary Village Vanguard in New York City, and his current CD is “Daybreak,” on the Savant label. As a bandleader, he has performed throughout the U.S., 
Europe, and Japan.

Originally from Pasadena, California, Bruce arrived on the New York jazz scene in 1988, and soon started working in the bands of Stanley Turrentine and Terence Blanchard. He has since had extended collaborations with Terell Stafford, Tony Bennett, Steve Wilson, and Luciana Souza; and he has performed with James Moody, Phil Woods, Rene Marie, Freddie Hubbard, Tom Harrell, Branford Marsalis, Art Farmer, and the Mingus Big Band.

As a leader of his trio and larger ensembles, Bruce has performed at major venues
in the United States and abroad, including appearances at Village Vanguard and Smoke Jazz Club in New York, The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and jazz
festivals in Rochester, Barcelona, Stockholm, Terrassa, and Seixal, Portugal.
