about

The Libretto Show is what happened in a magical room in a "live" atmosphere in Paso Robles, California with two musical compadres: pianist Jeff Babko and bassist David Piltch. Corey Jordan and his partner Kate Smith brought an incredible 9' legendary Steinway to their new space and Babko helped begin a crusade of players to come enjoy the piano and the amazing space. "The Libretto Show" celebrates this piano, the people that come hear it, and the camaraderie between Babko, who plays on movie scores and with Steve Martin & Martin Short and James Taylor, and Piltch, who plays bass with kd lang, Elton John and Randy Newman. The intimate atmosphere contained that electric lightning in a bottle, with all acoustic instruments.
