Pilley Bianchi's husband, Jay Bianchi, a gifted jazz pianist, producer, and educator will also perform during the service at the UUCS this Sunday, July 18. Jay holds degrees from State University of New York and the University of Miami, as well as a Performance Certificate from London’s Guildhall School of Music. He currently teaches at the New School University in Greenwich Village and travels and performs with his trio.
He is shown in this photo, taken by Pilley's sister, Robin, with Pilley and their son, Aidan. As captured in the picture, he is an easy going, laid back fellow and they have a fun family life with lots of friends and a free-flowing style all their own.
On the Saturday I was at their Brooklyn home, piano notes drifted through the house as Jay practiced for two gigs he had that day. In the afternoon, he played a private party at the Metropolitan Club, where he was instructed to play only cheery music for three hours straight without a break. In the evening he played a wedding in Long Island.
He and Pilley met at the University of Miami. Jay is originally from Buffalo, NY. Sunday's performance is set to begin at 10:50 a.m.
