Weeks and Peterson Quintet

Drummer Dan Weeks and bassist Joseph M. Peterson formed the Weeks and Peterson Quintet in late 2021 to perform original jazz and underplayed classics from the hard-bop repertoire. Currently, the band is concentrating on the music of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Hank Mobley, and Roy Hargrove. In addition to compositions by Mobley and Hargrove, the quintet features music by Cedar Walton, Bobby Timmons, and New Jersey's own Wayne Shorter—all of whom were members of the Jazz Messengers.
