LIVE
“Following his powerful 2015 album “Breathless,” 4-time GRAMMY-winning trumpeter & composer Terence Blanchard has recorded its sequel by documenting his band The E-Collective live in three American cities – Minneapolis, Cleveland, and Dallas – that have been scarred by the escalation of tension between law enforcement and unarmed African Americans. “Live” features Terence with keyboardist Fabian Almazan, guitarist Charles Altura, bassist David Ginyard Jr., and drummer Oscar Seaton.” Blue Note Records

“The music swims, the horn heralds and we’re caught in the tidal waves of Blanchard’s visceral statement concerning America’s worship of guns and the daily violence that ensues. All the music here is in response to the seemingly-endless loop of active shooters and the lives—mostly black, yet blind to color, creed, and moral code—lost to the avalanche of guns in our ever-corrosive society.” Mike Jurcovic, All About Jazz
