Description

Whats black with eyes running across it from left to right? No, its not an alien, although some might say that what lies inside is certainly out of this world. Its actually the cover of Arjuns debut CD, Pieces. Arjun the band is the union of souls who connect and communicate via an expansive musical language that incorporates the rawness of rock, the feeling of funk and the improvisational impulses of jazz. Eddie Arjun Peters the man is the proud parent who conceived this lovechilda child born out of a love for music that grew into an insatiable infatuation.

Music has always been an integral part of Eddies life. Born in Canada but raised in Queens, he was influenced by the music of his environment: R&B, Jazz, Rock, Hip-Hop and especially Funk. It was unusual that a young West Indian boy of Guyanese descent would want to pursue a career as a musician in any of those genres. However, at the age of twelve Eddie got his first guitar and that was the beginning of what would become a lifelong affair with making music. He practiced diligently, often testing the waters by mixing Hip-Hop with Rock and Funk and eventually Jazz improvisation in his first band, The Soul Dogs. A thirst for developing his musicality and technical proficiency led him to Nassau College where he studied Classical Guitar. Enter Lamar Myers

Eddie played with the rock trio Jimmibeetles Rock Theatre and that is where he met Arjun drummer extraordinaire Lamar Myers. The two of them spent many years touring nationally and gigging locally with Jimmibeetles. In 2003 Eddie formed the instrumental group Arjun which included Lamar on drums and Emek Rave on bass. The trio landed a residence at the Alphabet Lounge in the East Village and attracted fans as diverse and flavorful as the band itself. During this time Eddie became even more committed to preserving the mainstream-challenged art of instrumental music that was not exactly Rock and not exactly Jazz.

Arjuns Pieces is an instrumental offering that fuses everything funky, edgy and sexy that exists in music today. Eddies leads are as lyrical as any singers line while Lamar and Emek sew a tight rhythm to hold it all together
