New Album:  Rich Peare & Don Messina, Blues For Peter

RICH PEARE (Classical Guitar) and Don Messina (Double Bass) have released their first album together, Blues For Peter. There are eight improvised tracks of 7 standards and 1 blues, plucked on a nylon-stringed classical guitar and a gut-stringed double bass.

Honoring jazz tradition with straight-ahead swing and spontaneous improvisation, this duo strives to express the beauty of a melodic line, deriving collective inspiration from the musical philosophies of jazz greats Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Lennie Tristano, Sal Mosca, Billie Holiday, Bud Powell, Django Reinhardt, Fat Navarro, Oscar Pettiford, Charlie Christian, and Warne Marsh. Their music is created softly in the moment and done with the pure joy that improvising brings!
