Furiously contemporary free-bop trio release debut CD on Umlaut Records and goes on a cross-Atlantic tour.

French-Swedish trio Peeping Tom just recently gave release concerts in Paris and Dala-Floda with master musicians Axel Dörner and Alan Silva as guests. Their CD, "File Under: Bebop" (Lunar Caustic Series - Umlaut Records), is designed by legendary free jazz drummer and contemporary artist Sven-Åke Johansson, and has already had recieved warm greetings from the press in France, Sweden and USA.

In February 2010, BBC 3 will make a live recording at the Vortex in London of Peeping Tom with Evan Parker as guest.

After the opening concert at the Umlaut Festival in Berlin, October 8-11, Peeping Tom head out on a twenty-day tour in the Nordic countries as well as USA, giving concerts at festivals and clubs in cities Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Chicago, Washington DC, New York to name a few. In Chicago, radio station WNUFR will make a radio documentation of Peeping Tom's visit there.

The members of Peeping Tom are nestled up in the new scenes of improvised and contemporary music in Europe, and with Umlaut Records - based in Paris, Stockholm and Berlin - they take part of a worldwide community of creative artists. Ongoing projects, separately or as a group, include collaborations with musicians like Evan Parker, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Sven-Åke Johansson, Katt Hernandez, Barre Phillps, Eve Risser, and Raymond Strid to name a few.

Peeping Tom peeps back in time, deeply inspired by the energies of be-boppers like C. Parker, B. Powell and D. Gillespie. And by giving an up-to-date attention to their compositions, Peeping Tom tear jazz down to its bare bones and re-furnish it with the new blossom of free-bop.
