Jesse Peters - Face Time (2024)

Jesse Peters' newest recording, Face Time, is jazz-edged-soul, embracing a vocal driven mix of original and standard tunes filled with energy, innovation, scope, and range. From an ethereal falsetto that captures the fragility and depth of vocal colour (Songbird, It's Over Now) to a cheeky commentary on our all-consuming digital world (Face Time); from the classic swing Jesse was known for as the vocalist/songwriter/pianist of the Peters Drury Trio (Don't Go To Strangers, That Ain't Today, More) to energetic romps that are tributes to Ray Charles and, yes, the King of Pop himself, Jesse has crafted a set of tunes that beg to be listened to with only the finest of wine, or an excellent scotch, in hand. Retro, classic, recorded live-off-the-floor, Face Time, is a tribute to Jesse's jazz and soul music influences, showing where this jazz vocalist has taken his talent over the years.
