For over 20 years, Ambrose Akinmusire has been creating music in his own image: free, intuitive, and eclectic. Drawing from jazz, hip-hop, gospel, classical music, and contemporary minimalism, the virtuoso trumpeter draws inspiration from across the musical spectrum to shape his art.

With his labyrinthine compositions and lyrical playing, Akinmusire has established himself as one of the leading figures of a generation, alongside artists such as Robert Glasper and Kamasi Washington, who build bridges between communities.
