Dave Peck Music

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Dave Peck is recognized as an outstanding composer, arranger and pianist. He is known for his focus on the profound beauty he finds in the narrative of this music and has been lauded by the jazz press for his award winning CD’s Trio, Solo, 3 and 1, Out of Seattle, Good Road and Modern Romance. From 1978 to 1996 Dave performed as a sideman, most notably, as pianist and composer for legendary saxophonist Bud Shank. Their collaboration led to the CD, Tales of the Pilot, Bud Shank plays the music of David Peck, and Live at Jazz Alley, Tomorrow's Rainbow and The Lost Cathedral.

“His playing is lyrical and pastel, swinging and bluesy, with a ringing crystalline touch.” Downbeat

“Peck is introspective and astute, lush and deeply attentive, warm, adept and perfectly subtle with enormous craft” Coda Magazine
