Somebody out there thinks this is a pretty good record… Please pick it up if you haven't already: www.peterscherr.com Review: Peter Scherr is an American jazz bassist who resides in Hong Kong and spends his time trying to foster creative music within China.

So, he headed over halfway around the globe to NYC where the studio Brooklyn Recording is located and pulled together some of his favorite musicians for the session. |
