During this Black History Month we continue our celebration of musicians whose artistry and dedication furthers Music History, Black History, American History.

Trumpeter Jeremy Pelt's contributions to music are considerable. His new release, Woven, continues his involvement and evolving creativity. As Jeremy says, "my music is a living, breathing organism that's meant to grow. That growth is mainly informed by outer influences and ideologies that are woven into the timbre and feel of each note." Jeremy realizes this alongside vibraphonist Jalen Baker, guitarist Misha Mendelenko, bassist Leighton Harrell, and drummer Jared Spears, with special guests Marie-Ann Hedonia on Synthesizer and vocalist Mar Vilaseca.

The feeling here is quite the capture.

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.
