| Peter Eldridge CD Release at Joe's Pub, October 20 Peter Eldridge performs original songs from his long awaited album, “Decorum” following his critically acclaimed 2001 releases, “Fool No More” and “Stranger in Town” at Joe's Pub Thursday October 20, 2005 Peter's latest album is a brilliant combination of pop and jazz, using his singer/songwriter chops in combination with the skills he has acquired through singing with the Grammy award-winning New York Voices. Peter will be joined by guitarist Marc Shulman, bassist Tim Lefebvre, drummer/percussionist Ben Wittman and special guests who are also featured on the album: Joel Frahm and Darmon Meader on tenor saxophones, Seth Fruiterman on accordian, Lauren Kinhan, vocals. Peter Eldridge continues to combine all facets of his musical talents into an eclectic mix of performing, recording, composing and teaching. He released his first two solo recordings in 2001—the sophisticated pop of 'Fool No More', a collection of his original music co-produced by Peter and multitalented Ben Wittman, as well as the bittersweet standards found in 'Stranger in Town', produced by Peter and Jean Lignel, featuring an all-star cast of jazz luminaries such as Michael Brecker, Lewis Nash, Claudio Roditi and Romero Lubambo. Both CDs were recorded for the independent label Rosebud Music. This comes after years of dynamic recordings with the Grammy award-winning vocal group New York Voices, which Peter co-founded with Darmon Meader. The group has been touring the world since 1989 and released its sixth CD in 2001, the critically acclaimed Concord album 'Sing Sing Sing', a swinging big band tribute produced by another Grammy winner, Elliot Scheiner. The New York Voices was recently voted “Favorite Vocal Jazz Group” in the 2002 Jazz Times reader poll. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
