O’s Notes: Jeremy takes the warm side of mellow with a selection of eight ballads. Five are originals cast in a dim light of renewed romance. All are instrumentals except “Moondrift ” featuring Joanna Pascale. This is Pelt’s second ballads album; the first in 2003 was not as much his own character as this one. He has matured along with his band including JD Allen (sax), Danny Grissett (p), Dwayne Bruno (b) and Gerald Cleaver (d). They gel and project the mood just right.
