About this concert
The composer and renowned trumpet player Terence Blanchard has been a consistent artistic force for making powerful musical statements concerning painful American tragedies – past and present. Terence is unique in the jazz world as an artist whose creative endeavors go far beyond the genre into film scoring, crafting television series soundscapes and conceiving grand operas that have been recognized at the highest levels of art appreciation. In addition, Blanchard has been at the forefront of giving voice in his works to socio-cultural issues and racial injustices of our time. “Like anybody else, I like to play feel-good party music, but sometimes my music is about the reality of where we are,” says Blanchard who today lives in Los Angeles as well as in his native New Orleans. “I’m just trying to speak the truth.”

Terence Blanchard Biography
Heralded as “a trumpeter of expressive urgency and a composer of expansive vision,” by the New York Times, multi-Grammy winner Terence Blanchard’s sound represents a singular place in contemporary culture, extending beyond jazz’s reach.
His E-Collective is a groove-based quintet, teeming with funk, rock, and R&B. This revolutionary ensemble delivers a mixture of Blanchard’s genius and the innovations of his band mates. It’s the natural next dimension for a master trumpeter who has helped shape the contours of modern jazz
As a film composer, Blanchard has crafted the sound for the majority of Spike Lee Films that include most recently Chi-Raq. Other notable films include Kevin Costner's "Black & White", George Lucas' "Red Tails" and the up and coming 'Comedian" by Taylor Hackford.
