Jeremy Pelt – 50th Birthday Celebration
Dizzy's Club102 Columbus Circle, New York 10107
Jeremy Pelt brings his quintet to Dizzy’s Club for a 50th birthday celebration, part of the “PELT@50” US Tour. The billing frames the night as a milestone engagement for the trumpeter, with a full quintet rather than a solo appearance. Personnel for this date have not been announced, but the focus is firmly on Pelt’s bandstand work and the music surrounding his fiftieth year.
Los Angeles-born Pelt moved to New York in 1998 and has become a leading contemporary jazz trumpeter. His work moves through straight-ahead jazz and post-bop while drawing on fusion, funk and Latin influences. Early in his New York career, he worked with the Mingus Big Band, and his collaborators have included Ravi Coltrane, Roy Hargrove, Jimmy Heath and Vincent Herring. JazzTimes has praised his “intricate solos,” “gorgeous ballads,” and “flair or sensitivity”; AllMusic calls him a “firebrand trumpeter with a warm tone and deft improvisational style.”
Dizzy's Club offers a refined jazz experience with a seating capacity of about 140, where guests enjoy live performances from world-class musicians in a room that frames sweeping views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The venue features a full bar and a seasonal menu with sophisticated soul food, enhancing the evening beyond just the music. Shows are ticketed and typically run two sets per night, with late-night sessions available without reservation. The seating is generally first-come, first-served, encouraging early arrival for the best vantage points. The club’s location within Jazz at Lincoln Center places it in a lively cultural hub, making it ideal for a night that blends attentive listening with the pleasure of fine dining and cityscape views.
