Hello Good People, here’s a quick missive coming to you from the thawing hands of surfer Pete after a morning surf sesh with Gunnar Biggs at Terramar in Carlsbad. It was a grey chilly morning but the reef was working and nothing like some 62-degree salt water to get the clarity function in the brain kicking in.
I’m zipping off to Telluride on Thursday to play at hit with Dianne Reeves and the group. Dianne sings up a storm and the energy she brings plus her SOUND — she’s one of the worlds best!

Right after I get back from the Colorado trip I’m meeting up with Australian vocalist Kate Fuller for a special house concert in Encinitas. Kate is now studying at the Los Angeles Music Academy and recently came in 2nd place at the Del Mar Fair’s summertime MusicPalooza event. Last week we completed a recording of songs that Kate will enter in the upcoming Thelonious Monk Institute Vocal competition. Also, Kate is featured on my "Calling Me Home" CD.
She’s on a roll and I can’t wait to roll into a night of music with her on Sunday night. House concerts are really fun and loose and during the intermission we all hang out and have dessert together. Sugar kind of rules! I hope you can make it.
Look below for the details and how to order tickets. Click here to hear a sample of what Kate, the band and I recorded last week. I hope to see you there.
That's it, Peter
