Trumpeter Jeremy Pelt's New Release 'Our Community Will Not Be Erased' is this week's New Day New Play

Trumpeter Jeremy Pelt has always expressed himself with a balance of heritage and fresh modern outlook. With a title like Our Community Will Not Be Erased you might suspect volume and anger. Rather, as Jeremy says himself, "this is not a protest record, this is profoundly a recording of love."

With pianist Orrin Evans, bassist Buster Williams, drummer Lenny White and keyboardist Lasse Carson, you'll find a collection of positive reinforcement expressed in straight-ahead neo bop, spacious ballads, post-impressionist color, and tasteful electronics, inviting the listener to be part of the positivity.

Hear a track from Jeremy's new release each weekday morning @8:20AM, another feature made possible by the members of WBGO.

Mon-"Fathers And Sons"
Tues-"Manifesto"
Wed-"Our Mother's Nature"
Thurs-"Sandman"

In jazz radio, great announcers are distinguished by their ability to convey the spontaneity and passion of the music. Gary Walker is such an announcer, and his enthusiasm for this music greets WBGO listeners every morning on Daybreak. He's the winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year Award and the recipient of the 2021 Marian McPartland-Willis Conover Award for Career Achievement in Broadcasting from the Jazz Journalists Association. Gary hosts the morning show each weekday from 8am til noon. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
