Celebrating the release of their new project, Soulful Songs and Spirits, the Peter Sommer Septet will ride again with new music from Sommer inspired by his jazz community and family. The Sommer Septet was formed as a love letter to Jazz, celebrating the music and improvisation of the great jazz composers and their ensembles, including Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, as well as the classic ensembles of Ellington, Count Basie, Horace Silver and Art Blakey. The septet performs classic and original material regularly at venues in the Denver Metro region, as well as at festivals around the country.
