Jeremy Pelt Quartet feat. Buster Williams and Lenny White
About This Event
Trumpeter and composer Jeremy Pelt brings his quartet to Smoke Jazz & Supper Club, joined by veteran bassist Buster Williams and drummer Lenny White. Pelt’s repertoire, including pieces such as "Masks" that draw on African themes, will meet Williams’s line- and time-focused post-bop sensibility and White’s fusion-honed propulsion, with music shaped by composition and tight ensemble interplay.
