Ambrose Akinmusire
Jez Nelson presents New York trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire in concert at the 2014 Cheltenham Jazz Festival. He is joined by Sam Harris, Harish Raghavan and Justin Brow.
A second chance to hear one of the highlights from this year's Cheltenham Jazz Festival - a standout set from New York trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire with his quartet.
Since his acclaimed 2011 debut on the Blue Note label, Akinmusire has been cited as one of the most thrilling and talented trumpeters of his generation. His playing references the history of bop and is marked by a dazzling sense of articulation, but also by soulfulness and a unique angularity. His most recent release, The Imagined Savior Is Far Easier To Paint, sees a shift to darker territory, where soaring lines haunt sparse and open textures. Appearing at Cheltenham Festival's Jazz Arena, Akinmusire is joined by pianist Sam Harris, bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Justin Brown for a stripped-back quartet performance.
