This was so successful last year, we decided to bring it back for an encore.

Notes on the Beach:

Notes on the Beach is a piano (Glenn Pearson) and bass (Jeff Cooper) duo playing standards, swing, jazz, show tunes, and contemporary music.  The two have been friends and professional musicians for over 40 years. After meeting in high school in Washington D.C., they formed their first band and then attended Peabody Conservatory of Music together. After graduating, Jeff focused on musical theater while Glenn concentrated on piano performance. Even with their different musical directions, they always returned to their true passion-engaging audiences with their talent, with, and style to share their love of iconic American music.  Jeff has played at the Kennedy Center, National and Ford’s theaters, Wolf Trap, as well as performed on Broadway. As a bandleader and solo pianist, Glenn is much in demand, performing at the White House, Vice President’s residence, Kennedy Center, as well as countless embassies, galleries, and private homes.
