Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet
Over the past 15 years, Ambrose Akinmusire has paradoxically operated both at the center and on the periphery of jazz, and most recently he has also been seen in classical and hip-hop circles. He is constantly searching for new ideas and skillfully weaves inspiration from various genres, art and life into his compositions. These are poetic and graceful, but also bold and determined. His unconventional approach to sound and composition has made him a favorite among critics.
The Los Angeles Times praised his “chameleon-like tone that can sigh, flutter or soar” and described him as a musician already soaring at great heights, waiting to be discovered. DownBeat described his playing as “spectacular and not at all shy – muscular, propulsive, with a forward sound, supple phrasing and a penchant for intervallic leaps”. They concluded that Akinmusire’s vision of jazz is bigger than certain camps and represents an intellectually restless exploration.
