Jesse Peters’ newest recording, Face Time, is jazz-edged-soul, embracing a vocal driven mix of original and standard tunes filled with energy, innovation, scope, and range. From an ethereal falsetto that captures the fragility and depth of vocal colour (Songbird, It's Over Now) to a cheeky commentary on our all-consuming digital world (Face Time); from the classic swing Jesse was known for as the vocalist/songwriter/pianist of the Peters Drury Trio (Don't Go To Strangers, That Ain't Today, More) to energetic romps that are tributes to Ray Charles and, yes, the King of Pop himself, Jesse has crafted a set of tunes that beg to be listened to with only the finest of wine, or an excellent scotch, in hand. Retro, classic, recorded live-off-the-floor, Face Time, is a tribute to Jesse's jazz and soul music influences, showing where this jazz vocalist has taken his talent over the years.

The new album SwingTime from Jesse Peters is summed up in the radio-style intro: “an hour of the hippest jazz, the coolest blues and the sweetest soul.” Presented as an early 1960s radio show, this is a record that’s not afraid to explore jazz as pop music, balancing the past and the present effortlessly. Jesse moves from hand clapping jive to heartfelt ballads to foot-stomping gospel-inspired soul with confidence and swagger. Featuring collaborations with alt-soul artist Nuela Charles, Celtic songstress LIzzy Hoyt, and the Shiloh Baptist Choir.

In the world of jazz, there are two types of performers, those who play for themselves, and those who play for their audience, Jesse is definitely the latter. With his soul bared at each and every performance his musical sincerity draws in anyone willing to let go and come along for the ride. Textures that honor Jesse’s great influences like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett are fused into the modern sound that Jesse creates, and recreates every time he sits in front of a piano and microphone. Blessed with a natural ability to convey both brilliant musicality, and true emotion with his voice, Jesse draws on life and tradition to craft the future. If this wasn’t enough, Jesse has become one of Canada’s most recognizable jazz pianists. The combination of these two talents creates a recipe for excitement, exploration, and interaction that has left audiences across North America standing in the aisles and screaming for more. Said one audience member, "They play exactly the kind of soulful, often rowdy, jazz I love."

He has garnered rave reviews as a singer and songwriter from distinguished jazz artists Ingrid Jensen and Diana Krall. By the age of 21, his group, The Peters Drury Trio, had released two very successful jazz recordings and were distributed in Canada, the United States as well as in Hong Kong. Over the years, he has been featured in print media, on televison and on national and international radio. Jesse is also known as the face and voice of Edmonton-based funksoul artist Paramedic. Both Paramedic's debut album and sophomore album were nominated for Western Canadian Music Awards (2006 and 2009).
