Acclaimed for his Grammynominated film scores for Spike Lee, Terence Blanchard is one of the few contemporary horn players who can truly claim to inherit the legacy of jazz giants Miles Davis, Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. Fast and furious post-bop from a latter-day New Orleans hero and a super-charged new band.
“His writing is superb and heartfelt, his playing perfect.” Wall Street Journal
Playing with Maxwell, Erykah Badu and Mos Def, yet a Blue Note artist of impeccable jazz credentials, Robert Glasper is a piano-man for all seasons. Successfully marrying hip-hop with the free flow of a classic piano trio, Glasper connects jazz to contemporary urban sounds.
“The music is top drawer, playfully experimental and oozing confidence.” Financial Times
Robert Glasper will be broadcast on Jazz On 3 on Monday 15 November and terence Blanchard in Jazz Line-Up on Sunday 5 December.
Part of the London Jazz Festival in assocation with BBC Radio 3
