Bill Anschell Peru Reunion Trio

Chris Symer – bass, Jeff Busch – drums, and Bill Anschell – piano

You’ve heard these three talented musicians sit in with other outstanding jazz groups that have graced the Seattle Jazz Vespers stage so we are very pleased to welcome the Bill Anschell Peru Reunion Trio.

Pianist Bill Anschell was born in Seattle and began his career here, but he's ranged far and wide since then. He's been a jazz coordinator for the Southern Arts Federation, produced radio programs, been musical director and pianist for Nnenna Freelon with whom he toured and recorded, and he's toured widely in South America.

One of those tours was in Peru with his Seattle trio, Chris Symer on bass and Jeff "Bongo" Busch on drums and percussion. This Concert will feature adapted Peruvian music from that tour as well as original compositions.

In 2005, Anschell received a Golden Ear Award as the “Northwest Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year,” and in 2006 his trio was named the “Northwest Acoustic Jazz Ensemble of the Year,” an honor repeated in 2022. In 2010 and 2011 Anschell was again named “Northwest Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year,” and in 2011 his CD Figments was named “Northwest Jazz Recording of the Year.” In 2013, he played several concerts with the Seattle Symphony. His 2013 CD, Impulses, took him into new territory, featuring twelve tracks of original electronica.
