In his latest release, Things Better Left Said, Peter builds upon the diversity and musical history of his artistic influencesinfluences that range from Stevie Wonders rich pop harmonic and rhythmic language, to the lyric inventiveness of Lorenz Hart and Bob Dylan, to the emotional impact and hard driving progressiveness of John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner. Peters own creative musical style acts as the perfect soundtrack to his imaginative lyrics, detailing his personal insights into the illusions and delusions of relationships and American culture. His songs speak of a deep connection to the great American songwriting tradition, from Irving Berlin to Paul Simon, without being a slave to that tradition. They are progressive in the way they synthesize so many diverse influences, but with their rich array of historical associations, they are also completely accessible. In featured songs such as Agreeing Like That, Saltzman elaborates on the experience we have when the other person is briefly intriguing, seemingly the perfect fit. We share similar interests and views, yet we become quickly bored with the other person because there is no difference, no change, no volatility. While in Light From Our Dreams, he shows us how our day-to-day worries lead us to lose focus and interest in our once-solid relationshipsto lose the sense of love, even though its lurking beneath the surface. And in (Dont Wake Me Up From My) American Dream, he portrays the classic struggle between art and commerce: "Ive got a poets soul and a CEOs greed."
