"...intense interplay that is reminiscent of Miles, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams in the mid-60s." – Jeff Krow
"Mr. Pelt plays brilliantly, with warmth and depth. He makes each of his nine compositions feel like a personal discovery." – New York Times
One of his generation’s preeminent trumpeters, the lyrical, swinging Jeremy Pelt returns. He plays with restraint, is a top-notch improviser and magnificent collaborator, having performed with countless legends. JazzTimes called him “a technical marvel.”
He’s recorded two dozen critically acclaimed albums as a leader (including the new Tomorrow Is Another Day) and another 200 as an in-demand sideman. He’s also became a prominent jazz historian, annually publishing interviews he conducts with African-American musicians entitled “Griot.”
