Acclaim for Peck Allmond and "Short Stories"!! "Peck Allmond is a fiery young talent and a true triple-threat: trumpet, saxophones, and composition. "Short Stories" is an exciting recording that showcases his gifts beautifully." -Jackie McLean "Allmond is a magnificent trumpeter - and a forceful, post-bop modern saxophonist. The music he writes for his group is conceptually brilliant and marvelously played." -Phil Elwood, SF Examiner "Jazz musicians who improvise effectively on both brass and reed instruments are a rare breed, but Allmond makes the difficult doubling seem as easy as eating two favorite flavors of ice cream; ...his impressive switch-hitting alerts us to a burgeoning talent." -Steve Futterman, Entertainment Weekly "...His most convincing disc yet (ŒShort Stories'); the quintet interacts with enough punch and precision to give the music a noticeable sense of pride. When he solos..., ears focus in." -Jim Macnie, Village Voice "Other promising young jazz musicians who've already made a mark include...trumpeters Nicholas Payton, Marcus Printup, and Peck Allmond." -Dirk Sutro, Jazz for Dummies "Gaining accolades across the board for his trumpet and reed skills, not to mention his dazzling compositions. ...A musicians' musician." -Scott Adler, San Francisco Magazine "Formidable talent..." -Tom Benton, allaboutjazz.com "He not only lends a unique color to the ensemble, but takes an excellent solo on 'Peregrinations'." -Harvey Pekar, JAZZIZ Magazine (review of CD by Orange Then Blue Big Band.) "Bodacious musicianship..." -Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide "We would have liked to hear more of Mr. Allmond¹s Woody Shaw-like trumpeting." -Wire Magazine, U.K. Track List: 1. The River 2.
