The art of intimacy is just that—an art, that many attempt but few satisfy. With his new album, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt has released one of the most gorgeous trumpet recordings in recent memory. Approaching standards of Mancini, Bricusse and McPartland with a finesse also captured on his originals here, Pelt shares an intimacy artfully expressed with bassist Buster Williams, pianist Victor Gould, drummer Billy Hart and guitarist Chico Pinheiro, sometimes enveloped by a dreamy string quartet.

From Monday, April 10 through Friday, April 14, one cut from The Art Of Intimacy, Vol. 2: His Muse by Jeremy Pelt will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on myDaybreak show.

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. This winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year award has hosted the morning show each weekday from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
