Chris Welch, renowned music journalist, writes:
“Peter Jennings…compares favourably to Keith Emerson of ELP and Jon Lord of Deep Purple. One might even dare to suggest that in improvisational jazz terms he is a superior soloist; he is certainly more tasteful.
…One can imagine an audience of fellow organ players such as Brian Auger and Graham Bond staring nonplussed at Jennings stealing their thunder”.
