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.

KENNY GARRETT AND SOUNDS FROM THE ANCESTORS

Since joining Miles Davis’ band in the mid-1980s, saxophonist Kenny Garrett has distinguished himself with one thing above all else: his pursuit of absolute perfection. This may have gotten in the way of his emotionality in some episodes, but who can just jump out of their skin like that? On his new album ‘Sounds From The Ancestors’, Kenny goes further than ever before to gain distance. And here he reveals the musical sides of his personality that we have not yet known from him.

The album “Sounds From The Ancestors” is so multi-layered, as if it were a film in which he himself acted as director, screenwriter, cinematographer, main actor and, of course, soundtrack provider.

Line-up:
Kenny Garrett – Alto and Tenor Saxophones
Corcoran Holt – Acoustic Bass
Rudy Bird – Percussion
Keith Brown – Acoustic Piano
Ronald Bruner – Drums
Melvis Santa – Vocals and Keyboard

Tickets In Dollars: $65.90

CHRISTIAN SANDS

Pianist Christian Sands brought a fresh perspective to the entire language of jazz. On his stunning album Be Water, the pianist draws inspiration from the calm and power of water and meditates on the possibilities offered by echoing in its fluidity and malleability.

KEYON HARROLD

Keyon Harrold, a world-class jazzman, returns to Warsaw at Jassmine and will feature his new album Foreverland. It is full of emotion and drama, a triumphant journey that takes the listener through good, bad, ugly and beautiful experiences, leading to wisdom. Harrold says: What I can offer as a musician playing an instrument is an honest communication of emotion.

We had the opportunity to hear Harrold’s trumpet on two Grammy Award-winning albums – the soundtrack to the film “Miles Ahead” and “Take Me to the Alley” by Gregory Porter. In the Jazz Times readers’ vote for the best newcomer of 2015, Keyon took second place. Wynton Marsalis himself called him “the future of the trumpet”. The work of the star of the Jassmine concert is the result of jazz traditions, the spirit of soul and R&B music, and hip-hop energy and authenticity. Keyon Harrold doesn’t care about genre labels.

Tickets In Dollars: $51.61
