JEREMY PELT QUINTET

Born in the United States, Jeremy Pelt is one of the most outstanding trumpeters in the jazz world. A multiple winner of the prestigious Down Beat magazine’s plebiscite, he began his rapidly developing career in 1998, when, after graduating from Berklee College of Music, he moved to New York and joined the Mingus Big Band. 

Pelt built many others on this relationship, very quickly gaining great recognition in the local jazz community, starting cooperation with the greatest masters of this genre (including performances and recordings by 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, Nancy Wilson and The Skatalites). He often performs alongside renowned bands such as The Village Vanguard Orchestra and Duke Ellington Big Band, and is also a member of the Lewis Nash Septet and The Cannonball Adderley Legacy with guest artist Louis Hayes. As a leader, Pelt has recorded ten albums, toured around the world with his own various bands, and appeared at many festivals and jazz stages. 

Pelt’s recordings and performances have earned him critical acclaim, both at home and abroad. Nat Hentoff, legendary jazz columnist and producer, singled out Jeremy Pelt in the Wall Street Journal. For five years in a row, Downbeat Magazine and the Jazz Journalist Association have named Pelt a rising trumpet star. In 2023, the Jazz Journalist Association named Pelt the best trumpeter in the United States – Trumpeter of the Year.

In 2021, Jeremy Pelt made his debut as a writer, publishing the first in the planned series “Griot: Examining the Lives of Jazz’s Great Storytellers” vol.I, in 2022 vol.II, and in spring 2023 vol.III. The books contain conversations, most of which concern issues of racial and cultural identity and attitude to life.

Pelt is currently touring promoting his latest album, Jeremy Pelt – Soundtrack.
