I really can’t stay
Baby, it’s cold outside
I’ve got to go away
Baby, it’s cold outside
This evening has been
Hoping that you’d drop in
So, very nice
I’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Tell me now, what’s your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So, really I’d better scurry
Beautiful, please don’t hurry
Play some music guys some of yours
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I’ll take your mic 🙂 , your hair looks swell
Impro: Szőke Nikoletta
Impro: Luiza Zan
I’ve got to get home
Baby, you’ll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb?
It’s up to your knees out there
You’ve really been grand
I thrill when I touch your hand
How can you do this thing to me?
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my life-long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you got pneumonia and died
I really can’t stay
Get over that hold out
Baby, it’s cold
Baby, it’s cold outside

Peter Sarik (photo center) is one of the most popular jazz-pianist artists of Hungary.
As a member of the Peter Sarik Trio and other music formations he regularly gives concerts in Hungary and abroad, too. He has taken part on several occasions in the most renowned competitions for composers in Great Britain and the USA. Apart from his original compositions he is a great performer of Bartók’s and Beethoven’s compositions transcribed in jazz style by himself. He created the jazz transcription of Bartók’s Bluebeard Castle in 2021.
The Peter Sarik Trio was formed in 2007 and was transformed five years later with Tibor Fonay (bass) and Attila Gálfi (drums). The ensemble has become one of Hungary’s most popular and identified jazz orchestras. The key of their success is that all three members are open and many sided musicians thus they can address a much wider spectrum of audience than the majority of the jazz orchestras.
The atmosphere of their concerts is much more that of a pop or rock concert be it in the most dignified concert halls around the globe. They make sure that the atmosphere in their concerts is really audience friendly, full of fun, play and joy.

„I like to go on stage thinking that we’re going to give it our all, that we’re going to „tear the house down”, and I like to come off at the end of the show feeling that we’ve done it.
