Scott Hardy – bass Michael Sarin – drums Leslie Pintchik – piano “a composer of emotional depth and effortless lyricism…” -DownBeat “A crafty, lyrically minded improviser and a compelling composer…” -The New Yorker Before embarking on a career in jazz, Leslie Pintchik earned a Master of Philosophy degree in seventeenth-century English literature from Columbia University. She first surfaced on the Manhattan scene in a trio with legendary bassist Red Mitchell at Bradley’s, and in the ensuing years Pintchik formed her own trio which performs regularly at New York City and East Coast jazz venues. Her trio was one of four finalists in the 1995 Cognac Hennessy Jazz Search, held at the Bottom Line in New York City. Pintchik has performed and/or recorded with saxophonists Steve Wilson and Rich Perry, trumpeter Ron Horton, percussionist Satoshi Takeishi, drummers Michael Sarin, Clarence Penn, Alvester Garnett, Mark Ferber, and Keith Copeland, and the accordion player Shoko Nagai. Under her own name, Pintchik has released eight CDs and a DVD of a live performance. You Eat My Food, You Drink My Wine, You Steal My Girl! (2018) reached number 4 in the country for radio spins on JazzWeek, and remained in the top 10 for five weeks. Also in 2018, two tracks from Pintchik’s CDs were included in the soundtrack of Orson Welles’ final movie, The Other Side of the Wind. 2019’s release, Same Day Delivery: Leslie Pintchik Trio Live, was recorded live at NYC’s Jazz at Kitano, and received a four-star review in DownBeat that year. Her eighth CD, Prayer for What Remains, was released in 2024. All About Jazz wrote, “There is the sense that Prayer For What Remains is Leslie Pintchik showing us her soul. It is a beautiful thing, a straight-through first-rate jazz offering.”
