notes
Tim Peck is an up and coming pianist with a broad musical background. Though he was initially trained as a classical pianist, Tim started playing jazz in high school. He spent his formative years studying with Peter Cassino at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA. He then went on to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY, where he indulged his musical passions: jazz, classical, rock, and music recording and production. He also spent time writing for various ensembles, including a nonet that performed at his senior recital.
This album is a creative merger of all of these diverse elements. It is representative of three months of songwriting, three months of live performances of the new material, and then a week in the studio experimenting with the many sonic possibilities presented there. The music is all new and all original. Enjoy!

author: dr. Jonathan ZizmorAlthough this is his first full length album of original tunes, mr. peck still manages to sound like he has nothing to prove. each tune is allowed to take on its own character without the artificial restraints often imposed by the two primary genres referenced on this recording: jazz and experimental rock. A traditional piano trio lies at the heart of the record, often augmented by traditional jazz instruments like vibes and xylophone, but mr.Peck is not afraid to include vintage synthesizers which drive tracks like "Putting it Away" (an album standout). The fact that it was recorded all at once, in only a week, becomes one of the greatest strengths of the album, as these diverse elements are held together by a sense of immediacy and playful experimentation.
