Pike's Peak by the Dave Pike Quartet is a hidden gem in the jazz world, released in 1962. This album showcases Dave Pike’s skill as a vibraphonist, blending cool jazz, bebop and Latin influences seamlessly.

The album features an all-star lineup, with Bill Evans on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass and Walter Perkins on drums, which adds significant depth and sophistication to the sound.

One of the standout tracks is Why Not?, where Pike’s vibraphone dances over a tight rhythm section. Bill Evans' subtle and intricate piano playing complements Pike's vibrant sound, creating a delicate balance between intensity and relaxation. The track Besame Mucho brings Latin flair, highlighting the versatility of the group.

Overall, Pike’s Peak is an elegant, upbeat and sometimes introspective record that balances technical brilliance with emotional depth. It's a perfect addition for jazz enthusiasts looking for something with both energy and a touch of melancholy.
