Release: Song for Sophia
PD3 (Pete Downes Trio)
“The first
thing to strike me about this album is its freshness:
The second thing is the range of musical styles the band
has sought to address for this album: they conquer each one
- a cumulative achievement that dawns gradually on the
attentive
listener."

"Pink Floyd meet the Mad Professor and Santana
and Jeff Beck join in.". Gordon Moore
"Influences from Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck to
John McLaughlin and Miles Davis can be detected in their
often moody sonic soundscapes"

Pearce
Live
"Downes' evocations leap from hairy rock-tinged
John Scofield (Killer Joe), to howling Hendrix (Straight
No Chaser)
to rhapsodic-acoustic Ralph Towner (View in Blue). Downes'
alert comping enables Pearce's trumpet to really stretch
out over Coe and Bruce's beats"

PD3 (Pete Downes Trio)
Tone, nuance and balance are their strong points.
Pete Downes plays guitar, both electric and acoustic,
with a distinctively bright and crystalline sound, while
bassist Andy Coe and drummer Tim Bruce match him to perfection."
