An Evil Clown and a Leap of Faith
by Karl Ackermann
"I don't have a half-speed for music, if I do it, I'm all in..."--PEK If the Evil Clown record label is prolific on a per capita basis, then its founder is exponentially more inexhaustible. David Peck (aka PEK) founded the label--at first, unbranded--and its roots date back a little more than twenty years ...
Steffen Kuehn: Leap Of Faith
by Dan Bilawsky
Leap Of Faith is the fourth album from Grammy-winning trumpeter Steffen Kuehn, but it's the first record to truly represent and showcase every aspect of his artistry. He produced the album, he was involved in the mixing process, he wrote eight of the ten compositions featured within, and his horn playing is central to the success ...
Leap of Faith Orchestra: The Expanding Universe
by Karl Ackermann
The creative music cooperative known as Leap of Faith had a long initial run from 1993 to 2001 and then re-booted in 2015.

PEK, however, assumes a more than democratic leadership role across the many manifestations of the collective that ...
Leap of Faith/Thomas Heberer: Solution Concepts
by Karl Ackermann
The twenty year history of Leap of Faith includes an eleven year hiatus that is noteworthy more for the cooperative's ability to seamlessly pick up the pieces than for an uber-extended break.

He also received firsts in Artist, Composer, and Trumpeter of the year in the critics’ category titled, Talent Deserving Wider Recognition.

Dave Douglas: Leap of Faith
by David Adler
Negotiating the space between tonal composition and anything-can-happen improvisation, Dave Douglas's “straight-ahead" quartet continues to develop its original, identifiable sound. Only one of the trumpeter's many projects, this group released Magic Triangle (Arabesque) in 1998, and they've followed it up with something similar but better. Loose, natural interplay is the name of the game here, and ...
