Press & Praise

Over the years Peter Ross's recordings have found their way to fellow musicians, broadcasters and listeners around the world. Here are a few of their words.

From a Fellow Shakuhachi Author

"You've surpassed your former glory on this one. I'm listening for the second time as I write, and the sound moved me to stop working and drop you a line… Great groove, well recorded, great playing, love the tabla. This is a very good all-round recording. Hopefully other shakuhachi players will get a chance to listen to your original recordings. Congratulations — splendid recording."

— Ray Brooks, author of Blowing Zen: Finding an Authentic Life

From Public Radio

"We are airing your CDs — we're playing three or four tracks. Usually when I hear music at fairs I'm disappointed when I get the CD home, but that is definitely not the case with you. Really nice stuff."

— John Diliberto, producer of public radio's Echoes

From a World-Music Artist

"Thanks so much for sending me your new CD. Fantastic! You sound beautiful, as does your percussionist Will Dowd. What an amazing equation: one moment of thoughtfulness on your part and many hours of pleasure on mine. Good luck with it — best of best wishes."

— Jai Uttal, world-music recording artist

From Fellow Players

"I'm struck by how good your recordings sound and by how good your performances are. Some players may know pieces you don't know yet, but I don't think they have anything to improve on your sound or technique. Your tone is outstanding and your phrasing is very artful."

— Al Skaar, Seattle

The music has reached listeners through broadcasts such as the long-running Echoes radio program of contemplative and world music. Hear the recordings for yourself on the music page, or read more about the maker on the Blowing Zen feature.
