Carl Wishneusky - Piano Bar Entertainer
Carl is a dynamic and versatile entertainer - whether performing a formal classical recital, singing in a piano bar or serenading with his accordion, backing up Broadway style production shows, accompanying headline entertainers, playing in an intimate jazz trio or a full-sized big band. He also plays a wide variety of instruments: clarinet, drums, guitar, and a variety of keyboard instruments (organ, marimba, melodica, harpsichord, accordion, etc.) Outside the realm of performing, he composes, arranges and transcribes scores ranging from piano to full orchestra. He can connect with any crowd, not only with panache, but in several languages as well--Carl is fluent in Italian and German, and can converse in Spanish and French.
