FROM THE ARTIST
"My artwork aims to recognize the importance of, and honor the pioneers as well as the contemporaries of Jazz music. Through my art, I strive to create an example of ideas that reflect the desire for social action, social consciousness, equality, justice, and cultural awareness. Jazz music is the catalyst to all my work and I am simply the conduit in which the reality and inequities that exist in many communities in our nation and throughout the world are reflected onto my canvas." Andres Chaparro

Ralph Peterson on TRUMPET with his group Alter Ego

Ralph Peterson returns to Philly to perform at the Philadelphia Museum in one of his purest formats, the Piano Trio. In 1989 Peterson's Tri-Angular release was recognized by the Village Voice as one of the 10 Best Recordings of the Decade.
That CD also breathed new life into the career of pianist Gerri Allen and launched the recording career of bassist Essiet Essiet. Tri- Angular III, the latest version of Peterson's Trio features Luques and Zaccai Curtis. Both came up through college,
Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory under Professor Peterson's guidance. They are now among the most in demand players in the world. Their own recording Completion of Proof, which features Ralph is receiving great reviews.
