PIKE "PELIGROSO"
Dave
Pike is a vibraphone legend among legends. He is highly regarded
as one of the masters of the instrument and is spoken in the same
breath as Milt Jackson, Lionel Hampton and Bobby Hutcherson. He
emerged in the late 50's and quickly established himself as an
original voice on the vibes recording several classic albums with
the likes of Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Paul Bley, Tommy Flanagan,
Herbie Hancock, Clark Terry and others.
Pike is well respected as a jazz musician that has tackled and
mastered many sub-genres of jazz, including straight-ahead (see
the acclaimed Pike's Peak LP), indo-jazz (see the massive club
hit "Mathar"), soul-jazz (see the cult LP Got the Feelin'),
and Latin jazz (see the monstrous, highly sought after and legendary
Decca album Manhattan Latin LP). Dave Pike is a man that has never
known boundaries. He is indeed a national treasure that will continue
to be praised for generations to come.
For Peligroso, his second release for Ubiquity, he has teamed
up with another legend in Latin jazz, Bobby Matos to create an
album that will pleasantly surprise both fans of Pike and Latin
jazz. It is a hard-hitting romp that will initiate immediate customer
response from in-store plays and displays. Feel the vibes move
you to higher levels!!
