PETER FORD
Keyboards; Piano + Hammond

Talented and respected long-term member of Grand Wazoo keyboardist Peter trained with Ron Rosenberg, and performed in various Jazz outfits and small combos for many years. He then became Melbourne's best kept secret, with a 10 year hiatus from public performance, while maintaining his 'chops to the highest standard— re-emerging to join Grand Wazoo in late 1996.

Peter has toured overseas and appeared in the media many times with Grand Wazoo, as well as guesting in other bands. He has performed with Max Merritt, Jeff Duff, Rhonda Burchmore, Peter Cupples, Normie Rowe, Mark Holden, Bobby Bright, Jackie Love, Ron Charles, Jeff Duff and several others. Equally confident playing jazz, big band, soul & blues, Peter is a meticulous player who inspires others, and has also performed in JM’s Café Society Orchestra. After a short, well-deserved sabbatical, he returned invigorated and continues to delight and impress.
