about

Recently winner of both the 2007 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition and 2007 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition, Ambrose Akinmusire has got plenty of experience performing with such famed musicians as Joe Henderson, Joshua Redman, Steve Coleman, Ron Carter, Jimmy Heath, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Jason Moran. Ambroses musical trajectory continues to grow in more than one direction, drawing from the most unconventional sources, unravelling the most comfortable conceptions of limitation.

All the elements that comprise this musical conception are finally featured in CD, his expected recording debut as a leader. A solid set that shows persistent re-evaluations and aspirations to evolution and beauty in front of a solid sextet that includes pianist Aaron Parks, the tenor sax of Walter Smith III and the special collaboration of fellow altoist Logan Richardson.
