Jeremy Pelt: Identity
by Tom Greenland
Jeremy Pelt is a man in search of himself and a sonic identity that will enshrine him in the pantheon of trumpet greats.

Jeremy Pelt: Identity
by Jim Santella
A prolific composer, Jeremy Pelt wrote all the pieces for Identity, his fourth album as a leader. His bright trumpet tone and mellow flugelhorn ambience give the session a highly lyrical quality. The quartet drives with a straight-ahead jazz sensibility that emphasizes spirit over technique. That's not to imply Pelt's anything but a superb ...
Jeremy Pelt at Dizzy's
by Dan McClenaghan
