    Pete has an incredible ear & intuition as a player and as a listener. Always gave wonderful feedback and discourse on the state of a track and where we could go sonically with it. HIGHLY recommend his services

    Pete is TOP notch. I will repeat this: TOP. NOTCH. He really digs into the music and works with you on what the influences, sonic palette, and vibe of the song is—great tone, consummate professional, a beast on the Sax. Cannot recommend highly enough.

    Pete is an excellent, distinctive and versatile tenor saxophone player. I have worked in the studio with him on various projects and he has great ideas and will take direction too. Good team player and a great soloist, meticulous and soulful, he's a total pro on every level.
