Rest in Peace, Peter Schimke

We're very saddened to hear of the recent passing of pianist Peter Schimke on February 23, 2020. He was a fantastic genre-defying musician known and loved by so many folks. So many wonderful nights of fantastic music at the AQ were driven by his piano playing. He will be missed.

KBEM-FM Jazz 88 has posted a tribute to Peter here.

Here's his obituary from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Here's the song "Gorilla" from the 2004 "How Birds Work" album, featuring Peter on piano and vocals.
