Jeremy Pelt; Woven

Over the last decade or so, Jeremy Pelt has established himself as one of this generation's premier trumpet players. And there are some absolutely stunning moments of beauty, passion, and sincerity. On this album Pelt replaces piano accompaniment in favor of a vibraphone. And on much of this session it works very well. I must say, however, that I lose my patience when synthesizers are tossed into the mix on four of the nine selections. To be sure there is some astounding trumpet playing here. But I get the notion that Pelt's use of electronics is aimed at people much younger than yours truly.
