Pete's style was developed through years of live performances. During the eighties he spent his time touring the south and mid-west with a regional rock
band and discovering his love for the blues. Eventually the road and the blues brought him to Kansas City. After a few years of local jams and learning from blues and jazz masters, he was discovered by Cotton Candy
Washington. He served as her sideman and section leader 1998 through
1999, winning the city's best band honors both years, with a third place
finish at the 1998 International Blues Competition. Wanting to expand the
role and recognition of the sax in Kansas City Blues, he released the 2001
solo effort "Cheap Live Sax". Now a published songwriter and seasoned
solo performer, he continues to pursue his love of rhythms and textures.
Still playing, experimenting and creating...and still loving Kansas City Blues.
Thanks so much for the add, your kind message–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends!
We hope you and your friends enjoy our music, too. We've just added four new compositions and two new blogs about Umano.
We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy.
It also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other.
We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large.
What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
To all, I pray that everyone has the most wonderful Christmas ever. And may God be with you, your friends and family as we celebrate the most important event in history. The birth of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ.
