A New Orleans son, Terence Blanchard is a lifelong jazz ambassador for the musical art form birthed in his hometown. The Grammy Award-winning trumpeter and composer has brought the heart of his music to audiences worldwide through an impressive and prolific career recording, creating film scores, teaching and performing. He has worked with some of jazz’s greatest contributors including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Wynton Marsalis. And from his longtime collaboration with Spike Lee to countless music industry honors, Blanchard’s music is beautifully steeped in the past while remaining thoroughly modern.
