Pianist and composer Skip Wilkins and his superb quintet are back at it with The Paint-Peeler, Skip’s fourth Dreambox Media CD release (DMJ-1117), and third with the Skip Wilkins Quintet. An exhilarting live-remote recording from the mainstage of the Williams Center for the Arts at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, the Skip Wilkins Quintet burns up a set of nine new Wilkins compositions. Skip is again joined by Paul Kendall (saxophones), Tom Kozic (guitars), Tony Marino (bass), and Gary Rissmiller (drums), on the Dreambox Media label of Philadelphia.

Critics have praised Wilkins' range-- "Wilkins goes from soulful, gut-bucket mode to rich ballads to angular modern jazz..." (Philadelphia Inquirer), his style-- “West Coast cool but with updated, East Coast suavity”, (Philadelphia Inquirer), and his reach-- "Wilkins is an inventive, subtle pianist...[his] music has an edge; he's searching for, and more often than not finding, his own voice, which is really what jazz is all about..." (Allentown Morning Call).
