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.
