|  | Dave Peck at Jazz Alley... Debuts Modern Romance...
| Monday June 14 Pacific Northwest pianist Dave Peck returned to Jazz Alley in Seattle to debut his newest recording “Modern Romance”.
Recorded live at Jazz Alley in the fall of 2007 this set of standard songs from the Great American Songbook continues the trio’s exploration into the reinvention of the jazz piano trio.
Joining Dave is Jeff Johnson on bass and Joe La Barbera on drums. Both rhythmic and romantic, the trio uses the standard repertoire as a framework for new composition and form. Their work is rich, intuitive, and harmonically complex with a unique and signature sound.
The trio brings to this set of familiar standards a modern and fresh approach. Three original voices thoroughly influenced by the past and by their experience and yet newly invented at each performance.
“Modern Romance” is surprising and beautiful and comes to the listener in a swinging and easy way. The songs are love songs, old love songs but the interpretation is distinctly contemporary. | | |
