In this solo outing, Dave Peck thoroughly explores great standards and offers a couple of more rarely-heard gems, Bernstein's Big Stuff, and DeRose & Parrish's adaptation of a theme by Ravel, The Lamp is Low. Dave's sole original in this set is the touching Little Fin, a miniature gem. This is intimate music and especially rewarding for the careful listener. Dave is a true improviser, spontaneously constructing whole new compositions out of familiar tunes - in the realm of classical music they'd be called rhapsodies, or perhaps fantasies. “These solo performances have the power to move the heart like Brahms or Rachmaninoff.” Jim Wilke, Jazz After Hours.
