Terence Blanchard
Terence Blanchard is a busy man; he’s juggling three separate musical careers. Not only is he a respected trumpeter, band leader, and recording artist, but also a successful composer of film scores, primarily for Spike Lee, and he’s also making sure the traditions of jazz are passed on to the younger generation, as the artistic director of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance at USC. I get the feeling we might have to build a jazz club out in the woods to lure him to our retreat; let’s see what he’s packed in his survival kit for the trip.
His list:
1. Conversations with God
2. Trumpet
3. Piano
4. Music paper and pencils
5. Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda
6. Laptop computer
7. Basketball and hoop
8. Collection of films scored by Thomas Newman
