Terence Blanchard

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

A year ago, Terence Blanchard, the jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger wrote the score for "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts," the 2006 HBO documentary directed by Spike Lee. He also appeared in front of the camera, taking an emotional journey back to the city to find his childhood home destroyed. Today, Blanchard talks about that experience and performs live from his new CD "A Tale of God's Will (A Requiem for Katrina)."

    Extremely worthwhile, both because of the original

    and very fine music, and the socio-political problems post-Katrina.
