Peter Slavov live in New York

Experience Peter Slavov live on July 5th

Peter Slavov will be performing at Smalls Jazz Club in New York City on July 5, 2026. Slavov is a Bulgarian-born pianist and composer known for his deeply melodic and harmonically rich improvisations, often described as blending post-bop sensibilities with elements of classical music and Balkan folk traditions. His playing frequently features intricate rhythmic interplay and a lyrical approach to melody. He has released several albums as a leader and sideman, garnering recognition for his distinctive voice within contemporary jazz.

Smalls Jazz Club, located in Greenwich Village, has a significant history as a vital hub for traditional and straight-ahead jazz. Founded in 1994 by Spiro Vassilev and Ruth Kahn, the club quickly became renowned for its late-night jam sessions – often extending into the early hours – attracting both established musicians and emerging talents. Unlike many jazz venues, Smalls operates without a cover charge, relying instead on a two-drink minimum and contributions to a tip jar. It’s known for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to preserving the legacy of classic jazz repertoire alongside original compositions.
