Where does The Road to Ubatuba take you?
In the case of Peter Kingâs new CD, it leads to a "musical master" (In Pittsburgh) and his simmering, surprising amalgam of folk, jazz and blues. Ten original songs offer melodic invention and lyrical insight, spanning a map of the world (Brazil in the title cut, âThe Capital of Idahoâ and âWomen Overseasâ) and a map of the heart. The disc also offers fresh arrangements of Robert Johnsonâs âWalkinâ Blues,â Gordon Lightfootâs âEarly Morning Rainâ and the traditional âCorrina, Corrina.â
Guitarist/vocalist King receives inspired assistance from some of Pittsburghâs finest, including percussionist Jim DiSpirito (Big World, ex-Rusted Root), saxophonist Eric DeFade (Billy Price, Salsamba), harmonica player Marc Reisman (Houserockers, Ernie Hawkins) and bassist/producer Mark Perna (Don Aliquo Sr., Jack Erdie, Ken Karsh).
The foundation of Kingâs distinctive style is unusually broad and rich, ranging from singer-songwriter gigs to formal training in classical composition and jazz guitar. He has performed at the Three Rivers Arts Festival, Smoky City Folk Festival, Shadyside Summer Arts Festival, Calliope House concerts, Rosebud and many other venues in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Ohio. His teachers include Brazilian/jazz guitarist Marty Ashby, who heads MCG Jazz in Pittsburgh, Duquesne University guitar chair Bill Purse, and the legendary arranger John âDocâ Wilson.
King has earned the respect of presenters, critics and in-the-know Pittsburgh songwriters and musicians. Here's what theyâre saying:
"Jazzy, easy-going acoustic folk-pop in the vein of vintage James Taylor and Paul Simon" - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
âIntricate guitar work, exciting singing and evocative, richly melodic songs.â â Philadelphia City Line News
âProof yet again that we don't have to look any further than our own back yard for great talent.â â Shadyside Summer Arts Festival
With "The Road to Ubatuba" just launched to a packed house at Pittsburgh's Club Cafe on April 28, Kingâs musical journey could shift into high gear. Interviewed about the CD, he is philosophical concerning its prospects.
âOne of the themes that comes up often in my songs is the passage of time,â he says. âThereâs one song, âWhite Blossoms,â thatâs sort of based on the old âRubaiyat,â a poem by Omar Khayyam about living, loving, drinking wine and generally just focusing on the moment.
âThatâs kind of how I feel about this record. I had such a kick doing it, playing with all these great musicians. Whatever happens or doesnât happen, I just want to keep making music that Iâm proud of and passionate about. And, hopefully, music that makes people feel good.â
