Pete Johnstone

A former Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year, Johnstone was awarded a prestigious Yamaha Scholarship and went on to win the much-coveted Peter Whittingham Jazz Award with the band Square One before establishing himself as the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra’s resident pianist. As an organist his work with the trio "Prime" and with saxophonist Paul Towndrow’s trio has earned glowing reviews and his composing talents have been admired internationally. His current solo project brings together Joe Locke, Tommy Smith and Alyn Cosker in an all-star organ quartet, with the first album due for release in early 2025.
