Terence Blanchard August 25, 2012

Terence Blanchard is a celebrated bandleader, composer, arranger, and award nominated film composer. Since he emerged on the scene in 1980 with Lionel Hampton and then Art Blakey, Blanchard has been a leading jazz artist. He was an integral figure in the 1980s jazz resurgence having recorded several award-winning albums and having performed with the jazz elite. He is known as a straight-ahead artist in the hard bop tradition but has recently utilized an African-fusion style of playing that makes him unique from other trumpeters on the performance circuit.
