about

Trumpet player Greg Hammontree's new album "Trumpets from Around the World" features his original genre-defying compositions for an incredible variety and combination of horns. The many sonic perspectives he achieved in his work are accomplished by only two performers: Nicole Brancato on keyboard/electronics, and himself on 18 different trumpets.

This project was made possible by the incredible support I received from many generous people. First, I want to thank my wife, Nicole Brancato for her artistic support and guidance throughout the project, as well as her performance, photography, and album art design. I would also like to thank my parents, Bill and Donna Hammontree, for their endless support throughout my life and for the conch shell they gave me; my in-laws, Anna and Salvatore Brancato, for an amazing piccolo conch shell; and Giorgio Ravizza for gifting me the Italian military trumpet and becoming the catalyst for this project! Many, many thanks to Omar Chacon for his brilliant album artwork; Barry Hartglass for his vast knowledge and insight into audio recording and production; Brian Ziegler for his incredible photography; The Queens Council on the Arts for their funding towards this project. And a very special thanks to Joel Pierson, Clayton Dean, and Eric Petersen for their wisdom along the way.

Greg Hammontree New York, New York

I seek to dislodge listeners from time & give moments of introspective clarity through my trumpet & compositions. By blurring genres & building from my past, I sculpt a sonic environment that fosters an open perspective into one’s sense of self. My extensive credits include Netflix, CBS, RAI, HBO, PBS, Bluenote, Radio City, Symphony Space, Jazz Standard, Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal, & NPR ... more
