O’s Notes: Tomorrow’s Another Day is a break from trumpeter Jeremy Pelt’s Art of Intimacy series, yet the music is just as intriguing with all Pelt originals, an adventurous undertaking on a jazz fusion path. The band includes Jalen Baker (vibes), Alex Wintz (g), Leighton McKinley Harrell (b), and either Allan Mednard or coproducer, technology wiz, Deantoni Parks on drums. Frank LoCrasto adds keyboards on “No A.I.” and “Basquiat”, two of the highlights along with “People” in a peaceful set. That encourages hope for humanity’s next chapter.
