Terence Blanchard

2018 USA Fellow and five time Grammy-winning composer, trumpeter and recording artist Terence Blanchard is a national treasure. His score, recorded with his quintet E-Collective and a 75-piece orchestra for the film BlackKkKlansman, bolsters the film’s devastatingly timely message. His latest Blue Note release with E-Collective, titled Live, reveals bitter frustration with these times juxtaposed with a healing emotional balm. Consciousness, conscience and commitment: Terence Blanchard goes deep.
