He then went on to play and record in Danny’s group, The Bloviators. Musicians on the stand included Ralph Lalama and Gary Pribeck.In 2001, Peter produced Danny’s Big Band Bloviation and recorded with Barry Harris, Peter Bernstein, Eric Alexander and Joe Magnarelli and others. A second recording featuring Lew Tabackin, Gary Smulyn and Greg Gisbert was produced. In the last few years, he has teamed up with drummer Harvey Sorgen, who was instrumental in introducing him to a new cast of musicians, including Chico Freeman and Chuck Lamb.
