Performances are November 24-26, 2024.
Trumpeter Jeremy Pelt leads his powerful and compelling quintet—with vibraphonist Jalen Baker, guitarist Alex Wintz, bassist Leighton Harrell, and drummer Allan Mednard—fresh off their fall tour of Europe. One of the great trumpet players of his generation, Pelt’s style and approach place him squarely in the tradition of giants like Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. Of his recent work, the influential blog Burning Ambulance says, “He’s on an extended journey, taking snapshots along the way, and jazz fans would do well to follow him.” The Guardian called his latest project Griot: This Is Important! “a bold jazz attempt at bridge-building in a fragmented age.”
