Cry For Peace

Featuring a stellar lineup including Eric Alexander, Victor Lewis, Jim Rotondi, David Hazeltine, Jerry Dodgion, Steve Davis and Ed Howard, the CD hit #25 in the national jazz album chart and has garnered critical acclaim. The recording was made at Van Gelder’s Studio, and the album was produced by Grammy Award winner, Don Sickler.

Chicago based guitarist Peter Lerner has come forth with another tasteful CD showing his class and style with a versatile lineup of colorful tunes and an ensemble to match.  Cry For Peace demonstrates Lerner’s skills as a flawless guitarist and composer.

A real winner. – Bruce Tater, KETR, Dallas, Texas

Eloquent & meticulously articulated phrasing…makes every note count… It’s a beautifully choreographed jazz outing…easily one of the top picks of the year.

Far from a mere blowing session…the powerhouse ensemble breathes life into Lerner’s inspired compositions…a highly communicative soloist who applies his ample guitar chops with diligence. From beginning to end, Cry For Peace is an enjoyable, well programmed listen.
