"Saxophonist Vincent Herring and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt team up this month for a North East Federation Jazz Association concert (2:30PM) pairing two A-list jazz talents. Herring honed his Cannonball Adderley influenced sound while playing with that icon’s cornetplaying brother, Nat Adderley, from 1987 to 1993. He’d previously toured with vibraphonist Lionel Hampton. Pelt arrived in New York in 1998, after graduating from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He’s enjoyed a standout career as a sideman (Ravi Coltrane, Greg Osby, the Mingus Big Band) and as a solo artist. Like Herring, the Miles Davis-influenced trumpeter can easily shift from cool to fiery, as evidenced on his new CD The Talented Mr. Pelt. Expect selections from that album and its stellar predecessor Men of Honor, as well as from Herring’s deep catalog. The reedman’s ability to alternate among alto and soprano saxes and flute will likely dictate the duo’s set list. Visit NEFJA.org for more. BM " See full Jazz & Blues Florida April Online Edition!
