Men of Honor is an album by trumpeter Jeremy Pelt which was recorded in 2009 and released on the HighNote label the following year.
[1][2] In his review on Allmusic, arwulf arwulf states "Men of Honor consists of a set of eight original compositions that brings to mind the coolly creative, mainstream, pre-electric works of Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, and Miles Davis.
It is a deliberately drawn salute to certain musical traditions established in the late '50s and early '60s which have endured and been extended by young artists enraptured by the harmonic poetics of early modern jazz ...
This thoughtful, well-crafted music is recommended for relaxation on a foggy day, or intuitive navigation after dark".
While he's clearly the man in charge here, Men of Honor is very much a band-focused release, with all five members of the group contributing compositions (Pelt penned four of the tunes) and all five voices heard distinctively and insistently throughout ... At 33, Pelt is just starting to come into his own.
