About the Charleston Piano & Bass Duo  

  The Charleston Piano & Bass Duo was formed in 1995.  Before moving to Charleston in 1988, Bob played the piano in The Four Keys dance band of Columbus Ohio for more than 20 years.  Since 1992, he has played annually for the Tea Room at Grace Church during Spoleto.  Philip studied music at the College of Charleston and was the bassist at the former Louis’ Charleston Grill in Charleston Place. 

The Charleston Piano & Bass  Duo performs original arrangements and improvisations of the great American songbook and Brazilian imports.  American “standards” from the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s are performed using contemporary arrangements.  Mellow vocals are used sparingly when they are appropriate for the occasion. If no piano is available at the reception site, an electric piano will be
provided.
