A fiery and fearless trumpet virtuoso, Jeremy Pelt, masterfully bridges jazz’s rich history with its evolving future, channeling deep reverence for tradition into his warm, expressive post-bop sound. JazzTimes hails him as a “technical marvel” who “executes intricate solos with ease, plays gorgeous ballads in a tasteful manner, and never lacks flair.”
Pelt first made his mark with the Mingus Big Band before forging an illustrious career alongside jazz greats like Roy Hargrove, Ravi Coltrane, Jimmy Heath, Cedar Walton, and Nancy Wilson. His acclaimed recordings and electrifying performances have earned widespread recognition, including five consecutive years as DownBeat’s “Rising Star” on trumpet and a feature by jazz critic Nat Hentoff in The Wall Street Journal.
With his latest album, Woven (HighNote, 2025), Pelt continues to push the boundaries of jazz, reaffirming his place as one of today’s most compelling and influential trumpeters. Performing selections from Woven and beyond, he crafts an evening of breathtaking improvisation, rich lyricism, and commanding mastery.
