Jeremy Pelt is one of the preeminent young trumpeters in jazz. Forging a bond with the Mingus Big Band, Pelt built upon this and other relationships as his career progressed, eventually leading to collaborations with some of jazz’s greatest masters. These projects include performances and recordings with Cliff Barbaro, Keter Betts, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Ravi Coltrane, Frank Foster, Winard Harper, Jimmy Heath, Vincent Herring, John Hicks, Charli Persip, Ralph Peterson, Lonnie Plaxico, Bobby Short, Cedar Walton, Frank Wess, and Nancy Wilson and the Skatalites.
Pelt frequently performs alongside ensembles including the Roy Hargrove Big Band, the Village Vanguard Orchestra, and the Duke Ellington Big Band, and he is a member of the Lewis Nash Septet and the Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band featuring Louis Hayes. As a leader, Pelt has recorded 10 albums and has toured globally with his various ensembles, appearing at many major jazz festivals and concert venues.
Pelt’s recordings and performances have earned critical acclaim, and he has been featured in the Wall Street Journal by jazz writer and producer Nat Hentoff and was voted a rising star on the trumpet five years in a row by Downbeat magazine and the Jazz Journalist Association. Pelt has toured the U.S. and Europe in support of his 2022 release, Soundtrack.
