JEREMY PELT QUINTET
Jeremy Pelt trumpet/bugel, JD Allen tenor saxophone, David Bryant piano, Dwayne Burno bass, Darrell Green drums
Trumpet player Jeremy Pelt, winner of several Downbeat Polls, has risen above the status of ‘next big thing’. His quintet is made up out of promising band leaders in their own right. Pelt’s new album contains compositions by each of them. . ‘Pelt has outgrown the unnatural glow of a prodigy… What he has now is a balance of proficiency and insight… His playing is impressive, with fast action, bladelike articulation and a full-featured tone’ (New York Times).
