Jeremy Pelt represents the best of the new jazz generation. The young trumpet player from New York started his career in the Mingus Big Band. As a solo performer he topped several Downbeat Polls. Pelt makes every style contemporary, from Miles Davis-like 1960s fusion to the energetic acoustic neo-bop of his most recent CD November. ‘Fireworks ignite from Pelt’s trumpet improvisations’ (Downbeat). ‘Mr. Pelt plays brilliantly, with warmth and depth’ (New York Times).
