Destaques da DownBeat de Junho de 2007

COVER
Jeremy Pelt -- Over the past several years, the trumpeter has seen his star rise steadily on the jazz scene, paying his dues as a sideman and leading his own acoustic and electric projects. Today, at 30 years old, he’s established himself as a vital voice and is the cover artist for our special trumpet issue.


FEATURES
25 Trumpets for the Future -- We shine the spotlight on the instrument that has so often paved the way for innovation in jazz, and write about 25 young trumpeters who show that jazz will be in good hands for years to come.


Clifford Brown, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard & Woody Shaw -- We go back into the DownBeat archives and pull out the first interviews we published with these jazz trumpet legends.


Rachel Z -- The name of the pianist’s new CD? Department Of Good And Evil. She backs up this bold title with a collection of originals and interpretations of pop tunes in a project that she’s touring extensively over the next year.
