Markus Stockhausen (no stranger to cutting edge music and improv) called Peter the most talented American trumpeter/musician that he had ever heard that summer. I might agree. He's the real deal, and then some.
I can nominate another group at some point, if you wish. . .
Trent,
Matt's incredible (another Lake Placidian, ta bloody da!). Who else can you recommend to us?

Revisiting this post:
Some of my favorite "cutting edge" "names to watch" jazzers are:
Cuong Vu
Dave Douglas
Dave Ballou
Matt Shulman
Russ Johnson
Alex Sipiagin
Ralph Alessi
Some of my favorite "post bop/straight ahead" "names to watch" jazz players are:
John Swana
Ryan Kisor
Jim Rotondi
Nicholas Payton
Jeremy Pelt
Diego Urcola
Greg Gisbert (quite possibly my FAVORITE trumpeter... he's by far the most underrated jazz trumpeter out there... he can play ANYTHING!)
I'm sure I'm forgeting some people... so I'll probably revise this list in the next few days.
Best,
Trent
