Early life and education
Peter Lemer was born in London, England. He studied piano and composition at the Royal Academy of Music with Sven Weber and John Gardner, privately with Thomas Rajna, and then at Jack Goldzweig's London workshop (who co-coached in New York with Mal Waldron and John Mehegan). Lemer then returned to New York to study double bass with David Walter, attended Bill Dixon's workshops, and studied piano with Jaki Byard and Paul Bley.
Career
In 1965, Lemer formed a trio with John Stevens and Jeff Clyne, which opened the Little Theatre Club. He formed the Peter Lemer Quintet in 1966, with Jon Hiseman on drums, George Khan on tenor sax, John Surman on baritone sax, and Tony Reeves on bass. This group, as well as the Mike Taylor trio, had a season at Ronnie Scott's and helped pioneer the British free jazz movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It cut one LP, Local Colour, which was engineered by Eddie Kramer.
Lemer appeared with the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, an experimental jazz group, in 1969.
He also joined Barbara Thompson in 1996. Thompson and his partner Jon Hiseman developed paraphernalia, which culminated in Thompson's creation of Paraphernalia. Paraphernalia became Europe's most popular jazz-oriented group, and Lemer performed keyboardist for the majority of the decade, with ten albums released live or at Thompson and Hiseman's Temple Music Studios.
Lemer joined Gilgamesh in 1974 and appeared on several occasions and even some BBC sessions. He then became a hot session favorite.
He appeared on Ken Elliot's Seventh Wave, a pioneer synthesiser-based rock band, on their second album, Psi-Fi, in 1974.
In 1975, he joined Ginger Baker, Mr Snips, and the Gurvitz brothers in the Baker Gurvitz Army, a film of Elysian Encounter.
In 1976, he appeared with Jan Dukes de Grey for a brief period of time on their final album, Strange Terrain. Despite the fact that the album was released in 1976, it was only in 2010 that it was released.
Lemer was one of two keyboard players in 1979 and joined Mike Oldfield's fifty-piece touring band as one of two keyboard players. He appeared on Moerlen's album Time is the Key.
Lemer has been active with the band In Cahoots for the past. He performed on the album Cutting Both Ways (1987) and toured Europe with them. He joined Paraphernalia in 1987 and appeared on the albums A Cry from the Heart (1987), Everlasting Flame (1993), and Shifting Sands.
Lemer rejoined In Cahoots later. He appeared on the album Digging In (1991) and rejoined the band permanently in 1995. Lemer spent 1999 to touring with Paraphernalia in support of the album's recent release after two In Cahoots tours. While Barbara Thompson is fighting Parkinson's Disease, Paraphernalia is not touring right now.
Players of Games, Seeing Soup, All That with In Cahoots, and Never Say Goodbye were among Lemer's most recent albums.
