Veteran Seattle pianist Randy Halberstadt has touched a lot of the major elements of what adds up to Seattle jazz over the past forty years. Whether teaching at Cornish or privately, the best of the best have come through his studio. As a musician, he has led stellar trios, acted as a noted sideperson in many of the city's finest combos and in general, just plain stood out. He has a composer's mind as an improviser, never wasting notes and ideas frivilously--there is always melodic intent in his playing.
