JAZZ ALLEY: Dave Peck Trio “Modern Romance” CD Release

From Earshot Jazz: Supported by Joe La Barbera on drums and Jeff Johnson on bass, Seattle-based pianist Dave Peck debuts his newest recording Modern Romance at Jazz Alley. Recorded at the same venue in the fall of 2007, Modern Romance takes standards from the Great American Songbook and showcases Peck’s interest in the reinvention of the classic jazz piano trio. Peck grew up outside of Portland, Oregon, playing both the piano and trumpet. Peck moved to Seattle in 1978 where he soon made a name for himself working as a sideman for Ernestine Anderson and Bud Shank. As Paul de Barros has written, Peck’s playing captures the natural beauty and intimacy of Seattle – his music is “lyrical and pastel, swinging and bluesy, with a ringing, crystalline touch.” Deeply personal though Peck’s music is, his vision is only enhanced by his all-star bandmates. Together they create stirring improvisations that are at once effortlessly enjoyable and thought provoking. Strongly recommended to fans of the piano trio and its continued development.
