Jeremy Pelt @ The Village Vanguard
My NY jazz pick of the week:Jeremy is one of the leading icons of the new jazz trumpet. He is equally steeped in contemporary rock, pop, hip-hop, neo-soul, and electronica as he is in the jazz tradition. His band presents a fresh perspective of what jazz today can be about...
Note Frank LoCrasto, the 23 year-old pianist who appears on Pelt's latest effort [i]Identity[/i] (MaxJazz). I recently caught LoCrasto with Greg Osby's quartet and this kid is the real deal. Very deep player. Word on the street is that LoCrasto just recorded his debut record for MaxJazz's Piano Series.
More info on this string of dates (this past Tuesday August 8 - Sunday August 13) can be found at the Village Vanguard website.
