For Pelt, that camaraderie was key. At the outset of the \u201cGriot\u201d project, he said, it was clear \u201cwhat was needed to really do something like that was a significant level of trust from musician to musician,\u201d something he had built up across his 20 years on the scene, working with esteemed veterans such as Cedar Walton, Louis Hayes and James Moody, and consistently leading his own bands. (His latest album, \u201cTomorrow\u2019s Another Day,\u201d came out in March.)<\/p>\n

When Pelt selects his subjects, he makes a point of reserving space for \u201colder Black musicians that had not had a lot of ink\u201d \u2014 he referred to them as \u201cthe soldiers of this music\u201d \u2014 who appear alongside more well-known names such as Esperanza Spalding, Christian McBride and Wayne Shorter. Some of the books\u2019 most revelatory conversations are with underrecognized mainstays of the scene, including the multi-instrumentalist Earl McIntyre, the trumpeter Kamau Adilifu (a.k.a. Charles Sullivan) and the tuba player Bob Stewart.<\/p>\n

Stewart, 79, said in a phone interview that he was honored to be included among the \u201cGriot\u201d ranks. \u201cI take it as a badge of courage somebody just handed me,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause it\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing my entire last 60 years, teaching school and playing professionally and then taking my playing and passing it back on to students that are now young players.\u201d<\/p>\n

The saxophonist and singer Camille Thurman, 37, featured in the third \u201cGriot\u201d book, said Pelt has captured \u201ca lot of good wisdom.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s one thing when somebody\u2019s asking questions based off of what they\u2019ve seen from the outside, or what they\u2019ve seen put together nice and neat on a piece of paper,\u201d she added. \u201cWhen musicians come together and talk, there\u2019s something that\u2019s really deep about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelt\u2019s interviews take many paths, but one question is a constant, often eliciting passionate responses: \u201cWhat is the significance of being a Black jazz musician?\u201d In Vol. IV, the pianist Eric Reed answered, definitively, \u201cYou don\u2019t have jazz music without Black people.\u201d In Vol. III, the harpist Brandee Younger replied, \u201cI think that in this art form, it\u2019s significant because we as a people created the music. So it\u2019s important that we not be erased from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
