Ambrose Akinmusire
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
During his 15-year career, Ambrose Akinmusire has paradoxically situated himself in both the center and the periphery of jazz, most recently emerging in classical and hip-hop circles. He’s on a perpetual quest for new paradigms, masterfully weaving inspiration from other genres, arts, and life into compositions as poetic and graceful as bold and unflinching. His unorthodox approach to sound and composition makes him a regular in critics polls and has earned him grants and commissions from the Doris Duke Foundation, the MAP Fund, the Kennedy Center
