Pelt himself just gets better with every recording and he now has an instantly recognisable solo sound and style – and a knack for writing memorable compositions. A really rewarding album.

About
Recorded live in Paris at the famed Sunside / Sunset Jazz Club, trumpeter Jeremy Pelt and his colleagues deliver a set of searing intensity and unparalleled musicianship.
Pelt's group is that rarest of all things in jazz, a working band, and the communication that comes 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.
Pelt's own playing has earned accolades for his staggering virtuosity, which has elicited comparisons to trumpet icons like Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard, as well as for his studious, cerebral approach to the music. On this particular night in Paris, Pelt focused all his attention on creating the perfect phrase to fit each musical moment, sculpting long lines that let the music breathe and while building spontaneous ideas into finely-crafted miniatures.
Personnel: Jeremy Pelt (trumpet), Victor Gould (piano), Vicente Archer (bass), Jonathan Barber (drums), Jacquelene Acevedo (percussion)

Pelt proves his versatility and virtuosity on his own turf, the intimate Noir En Rouge (Live In Paris) performed by a brash young band equipped to make waves. Drummer Jonathan Barber is relatively new to the New York and Paris scenes, his Tony Williams inspired stickwork a consistent source of fire. That Williams attitude fills a portion of this live set, its expansive grooves coupled with exploratory trumpet work recalling Miles Davis’ epic Filles De Kilimanjaro ... an homage to jazz’s past, with a subtle nod to the music’s future.
