PETE RENDE GROUP
The Pete Rende Group features Pete Rende on piano, Mark Turner on tenor saxophone, Doug Weiss on bass, and RJ MIller on drums.

inspired by Duke, Jobim, French film music of the late 50's, Ornette and Bley, this music tries to find the line that connects them all, in a unabashed embrace of a personal nostalgia for the undefinable, like a lost love. Like drawing a thick black line in the sand. The feeling of saturation, mood, edge and blur. Like a memory. You will hear no jazz school chords here. You will like it or hate it. You will feel this or that. You will hopefully not feel the modern dilemma of the weak knee. Like the beauty in Mingus. Wrong or right and all the gray. A line and the courage to try... These are all only aspirations. Cover is $10.   http://www.myspace.com/peterrende.
