Pat Joyce (Piano)

Pat Joyce (piano) When, at the age of four, Pat began playing his older sister's piano lessons by ear, his own classical training began.  This young musical genius spent a summer at the famous Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria (1968); finished a Bachelor of Music degree from Webster College (1969); and, then pursued the academic life and a Ph.D. in music for two years before devoting himself fulltime to jazz performance.

Much in demand because of his impressive pianistics, crazy sense of humor (evenings spent with him are both awe-inspiring and hilarious), and ability to blend a band together with his supporting harmonies contrapuntal melodic lines, Pat is a charter member of five St. Louis Jazz bands; and he is the first musicican requested to accompany jazz greats coming to St. Louis to perform.
