"The Beginning" is listed under the Jazz genre, but it is much more than that and difficult to categorize. It is a collection of piano and keyboard led instrumentals that is quite sensational! Dircks incorporates jazz, new age, progressive rock and some unique instrumentation and composition. There is not one bad track and at least seven tracks are absolutely brilliant. My first loves are smooth jazz, funk and soul music and this one is one of my favorite albums of the year!

American jazz artist Peter Dircks newest CD features modern jazz tunes with beautiful layers of piano, percussion and saxophone. The tunes have a funk groove primarily but also include rock and reggae beats in an interesting way.  The album is a nice varied mix of styles inspired by his travels around the world - check out his song liner notes too, which further explain and are quite interesting.

“Second Chance" has left a funky impression on all of us here at 107FM. Most songs are in rotation and getting great reviews. This album is bold, moody, stylish and jumpin', groovin' jazz.  This is one hot CD that's cookin' on all burners placing together multiple styles and beats. Great performance, compositions and arrangements. Everything about this CD exudes passion and quality and is a must-listen-to-CD. Congrats on a fantastic album.

All of the songs on "Second Chance" are simply great and this album does not contain any uninteresting tracks! Peter is a talented melodist and each composition is filled with an enchanting vibe. He masterfully uses a variety of instruments in his work, as both lead and melody, all the while creating a very energizing sound as well as relaxing tracks. I highly recommend "Second Chance" for your jazz collection and our listeners enjoy it very much.
