About "The Movie Music of Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard" By Terence Blanchard Band with Metropole Orchestra Conducted by Vince Mendoza featuring Jamie Cullum, Bilal and Patti Austin
As one of the young jazz lions the New Orleans trumpet player
Terence Blanchard procured himself a spot in Art Blakey's Jazz
Messengers. Next to a solo career, which he started in the nineties
with a couple of jazz albums, he was given an ever increasing
number of movie assignments. With more than 40 soundtracks to his
name, Blanchard is the most important Afro-American composer of
movie music. He's the in-house composer of moviemaker Spike Lee
(Malcolm X, Clockers, Inside Man). "The Movie Music of Spike Lee
and Terence Blanchard" is a prestigious project, celebrating the
partnership of Lee and Blanchard. Blanchard, who not long ago
composed the music for Spike Lee's fourhour- documentary When the
Levees Broke about hurricane Katrina, performs with his quintet,
the Metropole Orkest conducted by Vince Mendoza and three guest
vocalists: Jamie Cullum, Bilal and Patti Austin. The project shows
manipulated still images from ten of Spike's films plus one
powerful moving clip from Malcolm X.
