The Talented Mr. Pelt

2011 album from the Jazz trumpeter. The Talented Mr. Pelt is just the kind of album one thinks of when it comes to how Jazz is supposed to be: cool, confident, swinging and just a little mysterious. Pelt's group is that rarest of all things in jazz, a working band, and the familiarity and communication that come from extensive time spent playing together is evident. All the players are among the foremost 30-something neo-bop players in Jazz today giving the group an all-star-type reputation with a well-rehearsed sound that comes only with familiarity and countless gigs.
