Terence Blanchard

Acclaimed trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard shares his jazz inspirations.

Kevin Le Gendre presents an interview with trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard, a leading figure on the US scene. Blanchard cut his teeth playing with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra and The Jazz Messengers before fronting numerous projects of his own, including his current band, the E-Collective. He鈥檚 also a hugely respected composer. Since the 1990s he鈥檚 collaborated extensively with the director Spike Lee for whom he鈥檚 written several film scores. In this in-depth interview Blanchard digs into his inspirations, sharing a masterclass in ensemble-playing by the Miles Davis Quintet and a Clifford Brown ballad full of depth and maturity.

Elsewhere in the programme Kevin plays concert highlights, jazz classics and the best new releases.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin鈥� Else.
