Terence Blanchard Quintet at Jazz Standard

When trumpeter/composer Terence Blanchard’s twentieth album, Magnetic, was released last year on Blue Note Records, it revealed a stunning array of sounds and styles pulled together by the irresistible force of Blanchard’s vision. Magnetic was another career triumph for the five-time GRAMMY Award winner and his quintet including its newest member, the 21-year-old bass prodigy Joshua Crumbly. The array of approaches undertaken by the ensemble was striking, from the blistering bop of “Don’t Run” to the fragile ballad “Jacob’s Ladder;” from the psychedelic electronic haze of “Hallucinations” to the urgent edginess of “Another Step.” “One of today's foremost jazz musicians and composers, Terence Blanchard's achievements have soared since his formative days in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers...a vibrant recording colored with the usual consummate performances, and a modernist bent that's replete with compelling themes.” (AllAboutJazz.com)...
