Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet + Empirical

Hotly tipped Blue Note-signed trumpeter Akinmusire is fast emerging as one of the most exciting modern jazz stylists of his generation. Surviving a baptism of fire in M-base sax don Steve Coleman's band aged just 19, he's gone on to develop his own long-toned style that's as subtle as it is beautiful. Here playing music from his powerful album 'When the Heart Emerges Glistening', he's taking bop into the twenty-first century and beyond.
