Biography
Peterson is a good keyboard player from a musical family. His technique merges blues, rock, and traditional jazz sounds, somewhat in the vein of George Benson but not as pop-oriented. In 1991, he issued a recording on Bluemoon/Mesa titled Smile Blue, with brothers Billy and Paul as part of the ensemble. Subsequent albums include 1995's Tear Can Tell and 1999's Souvenir. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
