Description
Superb trumpeter Tom Harrell, has been releasing recordings as a leader since 1989. His album 'Something Gold, Something Blue', on HighNote features fellow trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, as well as guitarist Charles Altura, bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Johnathan Blake.
Harrell is a prolific arranger and composer and a mysterious yet mesmerizing presence in concert and a regular in the recording studio. His resume is impressive, with contributions to bands led by Stan Kenton, Horace Silver and Joe Lovano. He has written scores for ballets and arrangements for symphony orchestras and his last HighNote album 'First Impressions' was in the Top Ten Best Jazz albums of 2015 in the 64th Annual Downbeat Critic's Poll, while Akinmusire and Harrell took the top two slots in the trumpet category in the same poll.
Personnel: Tom Harrell (trumpet and flugelhorn), Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet), Charles Altura (guitar), Ugonna Okegwo (bass), Johnathan Blake (drums, tambourine), Omer Avital (oud - track 4 only)
