Slow Songs by Peck Allmond

A collection of ballads recorded in the late ‘90’s and early 2000’s by THE PECK ALLMOND GROUP! From lovely old tunes by Irving Berlin & Hoagy Carmichael to a Charlie Haden gem and a number of my own originals. Featuring striking performances by all the band members, a tune for trombonium with strings, and a lovely guest vocal from the great Sasha Dobson.

Acclaim for PECK ALLMOND:

"Peck Allmond is a fiery talent and a true triple-threat: trumpet, saxophones, and composition". JACKIE MCLEAN

"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 1998 edition

"Peck 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 trumpeter and saxophonist 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

“...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
