Alex Van Pelt Resurrection Fern

Jeremy Pelt stands as a strikingly unique musician, his work consistently sleek and polished yet bristling with the spirit of invention. A concise technician but also a charismatic improviser, Pelt flourishes in a lean, modernist language influenced by classic bebop phraseology. He delivers his lines with authority and economy, the pinpoint accuracy of his tone well-suited to the heightened elegance of his delivery. With Italian-born, New York-based pianist Simona Premazzi laying down the changes and Ben Allison's inventive bass lines, Jeremy is joined by the twin drums of Billy Drummond and Victor Lewis for an interesting session of originals, standards and music by Wayne Shorter and Clifford Jordan.

The Art of Intimacy, Vol. 1 is the perfect album for Valentine’s Day season. Jazz trumpeter Jeremy Pelt takes us on a journey through songs expressing tenderness and endearment, while also performing less commonly known standards with his trio. Accompanied by pianist George Cables and bassist Peter Washington, Pelt “pours some old wine into new bottles” as he explores romantic classics like “Always on My Mind” and “I’ll Never Stop Loving You,” and sentiments of love on songs like “I’ve Just Seen Her,” “I’ll Never Stop Loving You,” and “While You Are Gone.” The Art of Intimacy, Vol. 1 is a must have for all you lovers out there!
