-Titulo Original : Audio CD - BEATLES A JAZZ TRIBUTE / VARIOUS - Various Artists-Fabricante : Highnote-Descripcion Original: Jazz artists from Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, Ahmad Jamal, Miles, even Coltrane all relied on Tin Pan Alley, Broadway and the then current pop tunes as a basis for much of their most enduring recordings.

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - GRIOT THIS IS IMPORTANT! - Jeremy Pelt-Fabricante : Highnote-Descripcion Original: It is only natural that Jeremy Pelts voracious curiosity would lead him to investigate the West African Griot tradition where stories, reminiscences and accomplishments from times past are handed down as oral histories. Researchers such as Art Taylor, William Russell and Alan Lomax have preserved interviews with older jazzmen but for his Griot odyssey, Pelt turns to his own peer group to record their thoughts on creating jazz, playing jazz and experiencing the life of a jazz musician of color in our own time. Each brief interview is followed by a composition by Pelt which perfectly captures the sentiments and emotions of its spoken-word prelude. To help him bring his vision to life, Pelt has assembled a hand-picked group of colleagues, featuring vibraphonist Chien Chien Lu, pianist Victor Gould, bassist Vicente Archer, harpist Brandee Younger and others. The tunes themselves run the gamut from the remarkable mixing of the sacred and the secular in Carry Christ Wherever You Are, to the Monk-like gallumphing opening unison in Dont Dog the Source, and the urgent, Underdog. As Pelt himself says, I want people to understand that this is for everybody, that the project was undertaken to perhaps help them understand that whatever they might be going through, their perspectives might run parallel to those of people who are generations apart from them. Maybe, to a certain extent, these younger people will find themselves in these stories...

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - THE ART OF INTIMACY, VOL. 1 - Jeremy Pelt-Fabricante : Highnote-Descripcion Original: 2020 release. Jeremy Pelts unquenchable curiosity has made him one of the most multi-faceted of jazz artists. Whether it be as a leader, a sideman, an accompanist or a composer, Pelt has investigated nearly every aspect and genre in jazz - from electric to eclectic, Be-Bop to Free-Bop. Here Pelt joins forces with the legendary George Cables on piano and Peter Washington laying down the bass lines. All but one tune on the setlist are slow-ish numbers but this is not your fathers ballad record. Each member of the trio is able to pour some old wine into new bottles, aware of and perhaps shaped by the past but operating very much in the moment. Together with Cables lush voicings and solid tone and Washintons always-inspired bass lines and solos, Pelts new recording sets a high bar for all trio recordings that follow in the remainder of 2020...

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - ELEMENTALS - Azar Lawrence-Fabricante : Highnote-Descripcion Original: 2018 release.
