Reviews:
"Attention jazz fans! Jim Pearce has done it again.
↓ more ↓He has put out another outstanding piece of jazz workmanship that will give you hours of rich listening entertainment. His newest CD, “Prairie Dog Ballet” gives you eleven original tunes and Pearce’s inimitable style supported by some other very talented musicians.
Jim is an extraordinarily talented musician and those skills are matched by his songwriting abilities. It is easy to see why he has earned many songwriting awards during his illustrious career. His stories and their imaginative lyrics create vivid images that one does not soon forget, or want to. And his piano riffs continue to play in your head long after his music stops.
All in all this is a wonderful piece of work by Pearce. And since he appears to continue to out do himself each time he comes out with a new CD, it leaves one anxious for his next production and pushing the replay button in the meantime."

"Jazz composer/pianist Jim Pearce has assembled an impressive canon of songs on Prarie Dog Ballet, showcasing his own creative composition prowess and dazzling technical gifts. The septet shines from the opening title track through the album’s closer, “One More Tomorrow.” He also delivers charming vocals on four tracks." One Way Magazine and Web Site
