Pete Whitman is a saxophonist, flutist, clarinetist, composer, arranger, and educator based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. As a freelance musician, Whitman performs in a wide range of musical styles and contexts that include Jazz, Classical, Pop, dance bands, etc. He has performed with such distinguished groups as the Minnesota Orchestra, Jack McDuff, Curtis Fuller, the Woody Herman Orchestra, the Jazz MN Big Band, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, The Temptations, and The Midtown Men. Whitman has recorded extensively as a sideman and has three CD’s under own name. “Where’s When” is his third, released via Artegra label. It features the Pete Whitman’s X-tet – a ten-piece ensemble, which received a four-star rating by DownBeat Magazine.
The X-Tet evolved from a group of musicians writing new works, the Jazz Composers Art Ensemble, which included Pete Whitman, Laura Caviani, and Joe Cosgrove. Cosgrove applied for a grant and assembled the 10-piece band to record the tune “Epicycle.” When Will Sampson of Artegra Records heard the track, he set up another recording session, intended as a one-off, yielding the 2002 album, Where’s When. Named one of the top 20 locally-produced recordings of the year by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Where’s When also received a four-star rating from Down Beat.
Wrote reviewer Bret Rudolph (Music Tap), “The music is something of a puzzle that waits for the listener to put the pieces together…The chords are well defined and exceptionally detailed allowing the listener to not only experience the excitement but hear the synergy between the different instruments and musicians alike. This experience combined with an exceptional creativity of musical works makes even the casual listener want to tap their hands and feet to the upbeat and light-hearted music”.
