For Jeremy Pelt, becoming a jazz veteran means even more experimentation
Jeremy Pelt refuses to play it safe. Ever restless, the post-bop jazz trumpeter, composer and bandleader is constantly experimenting with, refining and reinventing his own sound. That often means challenging himself.
Witness, for example, 'Woven,' his forthcoming album with his quintet. Pelt's 22nd album, it's also the first in his 25-year career as a leader that doesn't use a piano. Instead, guitarist Misha Mendelenko and vibraphonist Jalen Baker provide the band's harmonic backdrop.
