The outstanding trumpet/flugelhorn player Dick Pearce is joining PD3 for several performances including The Stables, Wavendon on Tuesday 3rd May.

“Dick is one of the leading players not only in the UK but worldwide". says Pete. “He performed with Ronnie Scott for fourteen years and is also seen regularly with Gilad Atzmon, Stan Tracy and other leading British and International artists. “We met Dick several times at trio performances in The Grouse & Claret. He expressed great enthusiasm for our unusual approach and we are very pleased that he is excited about performing with us".

PD3 RETURN TO PIZZA EXPRESS SOHO

The trio return to this top UK jazz venue in the heart of Soho London on Monday 14 March. Full details are below in the March listings.

Here's what Mike Flynn of Jazzwise has to say: “After a barnstorming debut at the salubrious Soho club Pete Downes and crew return to promote their soaring new album Into The Blue that spins new yarns from the likes of 'My Favourite Things'? and a striking take on Norah Jones' 'Don't Know Why'? to fleet- fingered originals."

'INTO THE BLUE' ON NATIONAL RELEASE

PD3's second CD is now available in record stores across the UK and has received a very positive critical response. Here it here: http://www.petedownes.com/intotheblue.htm Page includes mail order links.

REVIEWS

“Into The Blue, immediately casts a hazy spell which makes you think that if they listened to jazz in heaven, this would probably be it." Zoe Street, Fly Global Music Culture

Sounding both relaxed and contemporary simultaneously. These three are well versed in the art of collective improvisation and seamlessly interwoven lines. Derek Ansell, Jazz Journal International

This is an album of free flowing energy played by very capable musicians who pull off some adventurous arrangements and provide a marvellous overall balance. A sure hit with all jazz guitar fans and comes highly recommended. Wes Gillespie, Euro Club de Jazz
