Many many years ago at WBGO, one of our dearly departed Legacy volunteers, June Kim, would never miss an opportunity to champion the talents of her young nephew, who had just picked up the trumpet and was starting to take lessons. Lesson to be learned - sometimes you need to pay attention to what those around you are saying. Turns out we've all watched the development of trumpeter Jeremy Pelt to this moment with his new album Tomorrow's Another Day, his most adventurous to date, and debuting his new band - featuring vibraphonist Jalen Baker, guitarist Alex Wintz, Frank LoCrasto on piano & Fender Rhodes, Leighton McKinley Harrell on acoustic & electric bass, and drummers Allan Mednard and Deantoni Parks.
One of the magic elements of this music is watching and listening to an artist mine their craft. With Tomorrow's Another Day, Jeremy Pelt beckons us to join his newest adventure.
From Monday, June 17 through Friday, June 21, one cut from Jeremy Pelt’s album Tomorrow's Another Day will be featured each morning in the New Day, New Play spotlight on my Daybreak show.
Preview “No A.I.” from Jeremy Pelt’s album Tomorrow's Another Day, above.
