About
Trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire brings his "unique spark" (The New Yorker) to Miller. Akinmusire’s politically conscious compositions connect with jazz’s legacy as a vehicle for social change, while exploring contemporary issues. His genre-defying collaborations with artists as diverse as rapper Kendrick Lamar, vocalist Becca Stevens, and the Osso String Quartet have also served as inspiration. In this show, he leads his quartet through an emotionally rich narrative, combining thoughtful composition with soulful improvisation.
