Description

Enjoy a night with Ambrose Akimusire Quartet with these two tickets to their performance on Friday, February 19, 2016 at 8:00 p.m.


Composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire cut his jazz teeth playing professionally while still in high school. Inspired by legendary saxophonists Joe Henderson and Steve Coleman, he won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition and released his first album in 2007. Akinmusire has moved to the front ranks of progressive jazzmen, leading his quintet and contributing his burnished tone to projects with the OSSO String Quartet and vocalists Becca Stevens and Theo Bleckmann. A Blue Note recording artist and Downbeat’s 2012 Trumpet Player of the Year, this young trumpeter is one of the most buzzed-about jazz artists of his generation. Unbeholden to any category, this thoughtful composer and bandleader has a broad palette, big vision and defiant curiosity for the future of jazz.
