Rick Peckham Trio: Real Time

Read "Rick Peckham Trio: Real Time" reviewed by Mike Jacobs


The semi-trashy, primal majesty of Rick Peckham's sound may initially throw more than a few jazz listeners but it soon becomes clear why he's a longtime assistant chair of the Berklee Guitar Department. Joined here by bassist Tony Scherr and drummer Jim Black, the music put forth on this track and on the rest of Left ...

Jazz and rock music have had an interesting, if somewhat uneasy, relationship over the ...
