One of the most exciting and striking figures on today’s jazz scene, American trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire is “thrilling with a unique spark” (The New Yorker).
His music is a “dramatically paced, surprise-packed and sometimes intense fusion of cliche-free solo exploits and collective improvising” (The Guardian). He is touring to support his most recent Blue Note album, on the tender spot of every calloused moment, which confirms his kaleidoscopic vision as a composer.
He is joined by Sam Harris (piano), Harish Raghavan (bass) and Kweku Sumbry (drums).
