Don Peretz - Foremen (2003)

Foremen is a drummer led quartet with a drummer-less focus in sound. Don Peretz Foremen is an exploration of free improvised music through the roots of melody and song. The acoustic quartet seems to capture a listener that might not normally be captured in listening to progressive jazz. Playing out of New York City's new music venues, Foremen have keyed their own collective approach to improvised music, acquiring a strong following of listeners in New York.

"I wanted a group that dug into the depths of melody and improvisation to a point that would not only inspire the players, but touch listeners from all sorts of backgrounds."-Don Peretz
