Growing Up Musical: Family Influences

In this powerful episode, we sit down with jazz luminary Jeremy Pelt, acclaimed trumpeter, bandleader, and author of Griot—alongside the brilliant Lisa LaTouche, the 2025 Hoofer Award recipient. Together, we dive into the heart of Black artistry: exploring Jeremy’s book, the hidden stories of music history, the complexities of the creative process, and the lived realities of being a Black performing artist in today’s world.
