http://www.tippinrecords.com http://www.petezimmer.com “Common Man," the album's title track, exhibits the strength of a cohesive unit that speaks closely together, like peas in a pod. Not preferring to jump and shout, Zimmer stays the course with a magnetic quality. Solos around the room follow with the same mood as the quintet speaks lovingly of its tradition.

“Common Man, full of strong original tunes in the '60s Blue Note Records mode, introduces a talented newcomer, drummer Pete Zimmer".

“An uncommonly strong disc." Steve Koenig Editor, JumpArtsJournal.org http://jumparts.org/ “Unlike some drummer-led ensembles, however, Zimmer doesn't force his dominance in the group, opting instead for a more collective sound. While new to the New York scene, his unfailing sense of groove and light yet imaginative swing are establishing him as one to watch". http://Allaboutjazz.com/ - John Kelman This is great hard bop jazz in every sense of the word - blowin
