"With so much music out there, it's nice to find a CD you can actually listen to over and over...the more you do, the more layers you find. Serious "listen to me" compilation, each time revealing new instruments, sounds. Definitely the type of music you would want for a moody intimate get together or a cool cocktail party. The pieces are complicated and compelling. Love it!"

"I listen to this cd and was amazed at the combination of talent and originality in the album. Allmond has not only mastered several instruments, he has also written delightful, complicated music. The rendition of the standard, "It Never Entered My Mind" is simply beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone seriously interested in jazz."
Carried away by these Stories

"I Put 'Short Stories' in my CD player and was carried away by Mr. Allmond's gorgeous musicianship and clever compostions. I couldn't help but follow each passage as it took me from a rythmic pulse to a sensuous stroll, and then to a more straight ahead pace through a collection of music that now sits on top of my CD stack, ready for replay. Each of the stories is different, some with a Latin or African flavor. I would like to say that I have a favorite song but all of the songs are equally wonderful. I am waiting for The Peck Allmond Group's next CD! Thank you for such a beautiful collection of music."
