Artist description “Quickpeak” originated in the New Jersey area. Joe and Brian met at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, where both majored in music. They formed a friendship and a unique musical bond. They began playing together that year and found gigs throughout the Philadelphia and New Jersey area. Playing up to five times a week the two began to forge an original sound.The pair started writing original compositions that would later become the material for the “Silverlining” CD. Schooled not only just in jazz but also other musical styles, Brian and Joe began to develop a sound that is both a mix of pop and jazz.They were influenced from such diverse musicians as Grover Washington, Dave Koz, The Beatles, Dave Brubeck, Wayne Shorter, and Art Pepper.Their sound can be best described as “Smooth Jazz” with a very down to earth feel and sound.
