Love that record and if there's any real complaint from me about these Black Jazz releases is that they're EPs instead of LPs. Kind of like that Sonny Fortune/Stan Hunter Trip On the Strip record.

Jeremy Pelt isn't content to just dust off the holiday songbook — he gives it a bright new shine. One of today's most creative and consistently compelling trumpeters, Pelt brings his signature mix of smarts, soul, and swing to this inspired set list, where classic fare gets a decidedly contemporary spin. In the capable hands of this all-star quartet, “Winter Wonderland” bounces along with straight-ahead joy, “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” glows with intimacy, while “The Little Drummer Boy” and “We Three Kings” get a sleek, modern makeover courtesy of the Fender Rhodes and the group's cool, clever arrangements. It's all vintage Pelt — inventive, soulful, and deeply musical. Sure, it's a Christmas album, but at its core, it's a sparkling celebration of jazz itself, played with warmth, wit, and real sophistication. - Ray Osnato for HighNote Records
