Terence Blanchard, trumpet February 26, 2010
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
From 1939 to 1975, Blue Note Records recorded just about every trumpet player that mattered: Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Donald Byrd, Don Cherry ... It’s no coincidence that its current roster includes Grammy Award-winning Terence Blanchard, one of the most gifted trumpeter/composers since those halcyon days.
As well as leading a string of high profile bands of his own, Blanchard enjoys a successful career as a film composer, with soundtracks including Spike Lee’s Malcolm X, Summer of Sam, and Do the Right Thing.
This performance is part of the 33rd annual Carolina Jazz Festival.
"...majestic and emotionally charged..."
