I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Peace Vibes, from Ted Piltzecker and it's a solid combination of original and classic covers. Opening with Benny Golson's Whisper Not, Ted Piltzecker on vibraphone begins the melody joined by Brad Goode playing counter melody on trumpet. Gonzalo Teppa on bass and Paul Romaine on drums provide a tight rhythm section for a lush exploration of this well known classic. Piltzecker's strokes float on air and Goode's trumpet work is really crisp. Excellent opener. Toots Theilemans' Bluesette has a terrific Latin rhythm emphasized by Vinicius Barros on percussion, reinforced by Romaine on drums. Piltzecker's vibes really fill the air and Goode's trumpet lead it enthusiastic and fun. Miles Davis' Nardis features Goode on lead on trumpet, his noted caressed in warm vibes tones. Romaine lightly drives the beat as Piltzecker extends the melody and a real nice bass solo by Teppa adds another dimension to an already complex track. Very nice. The intro for Horace Silver's, Peace, is formed by Piltzecker and slowly built to full potential adding first light drums and bass, then Goode on trumpet, for a warm conclusion. Wrapping the release is jazz standard, Old Devil Moon with a Latin rhythm. Romaine adds a lot of texture with Goode taking the lead and Piltzecker adding vital warmth on vibes. Solid closer.
