Terence Blanchard - A Tale of God's Will

This 2007 album is Terence Blanchard's haunting and moving reflection on the tragedy and failures represented by post-Katrina New Orleans: a perfectly-balanced emotional journey through frustration, rage, sadness, despair and hope. The power in the compositions is emphasised by a 40-piece orchestra, deployed into the fold of a traditional small-band jazz array. On top of displaying his usual mastery on the trumpet, Blanchard conducts the orchestra and band with precision and restraint, summoning the music's mournful character with a forceful and intense all-round performance.
