About Me

Welcome to the jazz world of Steve Petrinko! I am a composer, arranger, drummer, guitarist, bassist, pianist, percussionist, engineer, and producer. I have been writing music for 22 years. During the last few, I have been writing mostly jazz instrumentals. I love hard bop the most, but I also have a great love for the gamut of jazz stylings. I have written and performed a lot of styles of music over the years. I am also a vocalist, but I've chosen not to sing in my jazz work. Please comment or send me an e-mail if you like what I am doing. I’d really love to hear from you. Thanks for listening! Steve
