Jeremy Pelt: Water And Earth

Water and Earth

For most trumpeters in jazz today it is difficult to walk the tightrope between history and progress but Jeremy Pelt has always done it with ease. From his first professional gig with the Mingus band through to his role as bandleader, Pelt has maintained remarkable forward momentum. Today, at the peak of his powers, his bands have been lauded for an intense interplay that calls to mind Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams. It is the spirit of the 1969-70 Miles Davis that is conjured on this latest recording. Using some electronics - including the Rhodes, Prophet and trumpet effects - the band defies categorization and, in Jeremy's words, this album, "isn't about a change in direction as much as it's about strengthening my commitment to my art at present."
