| Vancouver Jazz Group Hits Apple (aapl-nasd) Itunes A Vancouver jazz group has captured the interest of Apple (AAPL-NASD) iTunes. Geoff Peters Trio is cutting the virtual ribbon to its new feature page on the Web's most popular music store. "The iTunes exposure means big things for our band, " pianist Geoff Peters says. "It also means big things for our fans, who can get a sense of who we are and what drives us, musically." The page will feature the band's newest full-length album Quiet Night, including the songs Delicate, For Kris, and Balance in All Things. In addition to North American popularity, the CD is finding a market in Japan with a new distribution agreement in that country.
