Terence Blanchard at Tufts

Listen to this article

Heralded as “a trumpeter of expressive urgency and a composer of expansive vision” by the New York Times, multi-Grammy winner Terence Blanchard’s sound represents a singular place in contemporary culture, extending beyond jazz’s reach. His E-Collective is a groove-based quintet, teeming with funk, rock, and R&B. This revolutionary ensemble delivers a mixture of Blanchard’s genius and the innovations of his band mates.  It’s the natural next dimension for a master trumpeter who has helped shape the contours of modern jazz.

Terence Blanchard featuring the E-Collective will perform at Tufts University (Distler Performance Hall, Granoff Music Center) on Sat, February 25. Showtime is 8 PM. Tickets are free with a Tufts ID card (limit two per ID) and $10 for general admission. Call 617.627.3679 for tickets.
