Peter Beets is a Dutch jazz pianist. He has shared the stage with jazz greats like Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, Dee Dee Bridgewater, George Coleman, Johnny Griffin, Chris Potter and John Clayton. He recorded with Jeff Hamilton and Curtis Fuller and in 2001 his recording "New York Trio" was released, which was the start of his international career. In October 2007 the CD “New Groove” appeared on the renowned label. This time he chose to perform without drums, but with the strength of piano, guitar and bass. In autumn 2010 Criss Cross released the fifth album of Peter Beets, 'Chopin meets the Blues'. On this album he uses Chopin melodies as a basis for jazz improvisation. Peter has had very successful tours with his trio in several countries in Europe such as Germany, Switzerland, Finland and Poland as well as in Japan and the US. He played at the famous Birdland Club in New York as a “special guest” for one week. In 2009 October 1, The Beets Brothers held a concert in Bangkok's Thai cultural center. A group of Music GCSE students from the Regent's School came to watch the concert describing it to be "without a doubt, Brilliant."

Peter Beets jest obecnie jednym z najlepszych klasycznych pianistów jazzowych Europy, o czym świadczy powszechnie stosowany już przydomek "następca Oscara Petersona". Ukończył Royal Conservatory w Hadze. Debiutował w wieku 14 lat występując w Amsterdamie w rodzinnym kwartecie. W 1985 roku powstało trio "The Beets Brothers", które w 3 lata później zdobyło "Pall Mall Swing Award" oraz nagrodę specjalną Księżnej Christiny. Trio ma na koncie cztery znakomite płyty. W roku 1996 Peter Beets nagrał z amerykańskim perkusistą Jeffem Hamiltonem pierwszą autorską płytę. W dwa lata później zdobył w Paryżu "Prix Martial Solal", a w roku następnym zwyciężył w "Concours de Solistes de Jazz" w Monaco. W 2001 roku wydana została kolejna jego autorska płyta "New York Trio", nagrana z udziałem znakomitej amerykańskiej sekcji: Rodney Whitaker (b) i Willie Jones III (dr). W dwa lata później ukazał się jego kolejny amerykański album "NY Trio Page 2" nagrany z Larry Grenadierem i powtórnie Willie Jonesem III, a w 2005 "NY Trio Page 3" z Reginaldem Vealem i Herlin Riley'em. W 2008 roku Peter Beets nagrał płytę "New Groove", tworząc kwartet z gitarzystą Joe Cohnem oraz Reuben Rogers i Ruud Jacobs w sekcji. W marcu 2009 roku ukazał się kolejny album nagrany z Cohnem, Rogersem i Gregory Hutchinsonem (Chopin Meets The Blues) w całości poświęcony twórczości Fryderyka Chopina.

As one of the most sought-after jazz artists of our time, PETER BEETS has attracted a devoted international audience, performing regularly at major jazz festivals and venues throughout Europe, the United States and Asia. He has shared the stage with jazz greats such as Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, “Toots” Thielemans, Elvin Jones, George Coleman, Johnny Griffin, Benny Golson and Kurt Rosenwinkel. One of his earliest recordings, "First Date" (1996), featured the great Jeff Hamilton on drums. In 2001 the Criss Cross label invited Peter for a series of CDs with his "New York Trio", inviting artists like Willie Jones III, Larry Grenadier and Greg Hutchinson, earning him international acclaim.

From birth, Peter was surrounded by music: Classical from his mother who is a music pedagogue, and Jazz from his father who instilled in his son his own great love of Oscar Peterson and Art Blakey. His brothers Marius (1966) and Alexander (1968) also became professional musicians, double bass and tenor saxophone respectively. Since 1985, the brothers have performed together as “The Beets Brothers”.

In 1988 Peter was awarded the prestigious Pall Mall Swing Award, and a year later the Princess Christina Award. In 1998 he completed his conservatory studies, winning the Prix Martial Solal in Paris. In the same year, he became the featured pianist with "The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw”. The following year, he produced a live recording with jazz legend Curtis Fuller and was also awarded the Concours de Solistes de Jazz in Monaco.

In 2010 Peter was awarded an Edison (Dutch equivalent of the Grammy) for the album "Blues for the Date", with his original compositions, accompanied by "The Jazzorchestra of the Concertgebouw". ---peterbeets.com
