O’s Notes: Griot: This Is Important, is trumpeter Jeremy Pelt’s latest undertaking. He captures the history of jazz from the perspectives of his elders, family and peers interspersing excerpts of his interviews with musical interpretations. The messages are as impactful and intriguing as the accompanying music with Chien Chien Lu (vibes), Victor Gould (p), Vicente Archer (b), Allan Mednard (d) and Ismel Wignall (perc) providing strong support for Pelt. This is an impactful, entertaining and educational session.
