Jeremy Pelt: Identity
by John Kelman
Still on the shy side of thirty, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt has already established quite a name for himself, building an impressive body of work collaborating with artists including Ralph Peterson, the Mingus Big Band, and Wayne Shorter.

Jeremy Pelt: Identity
by John Dworkin
Most of the best composers, like Ellington and Shorter, have also been great players. The two processes are mutually reinforcing. Jeremy Pelt's Identity shows him to be on this two-fold path.

Identity is yet another fine piano trio recording brought to us by “Leo Records” featuring the expertise of pianist Michel Wintsch, bassist Ban Oester and all-world drummer-composer Gerry Hemingway. Here each musician contributes compositions that run the gamut from being tightly integrated or classically tinged such as Wintsch’ “Choucas” and “Anne-Marie S” along with spotty doses ...
