This review is from: Left End (Audio CD)
I don't review many items but seeing that no one has reviewed Rick Peckham Trio's "Left End" is a travisty. This is a great guitarist's guitarists album (CD). I had never heard of Rick Peckham but I'm sure glad I read a review and got this disc. I hope he puts out more stuff or comes to the Bay Area. This disc is playfully improvised jazz played with a hard rock edge. Simple and complex at the same time. The guitar has a nice nasty rock sound and the bass and drums hold down one hellova beat. I expect no less from Jim Black and Tony Scherr. Great work - give me more!

Jazz/Rock Trio....., June 25, 2009
This review is from: Left End (Audio CD)
I got interested in Rick Peckham's work after watching the closing performance on Berklee's Instructional DVD: Jazz Guitar Techniques Modal Voicings (it was OK but not so much new info for me). On DVD, Rick was using Boss Loop pedal and improvised over the repeated bass loop figures. It was a little weird but gave me an idea to use the loopie things.
So I expected something similar to the DVD but this CD was like rock/blues trio. Anyway, Berklee teachers should perform more on a real world - outside of the conservatory.
