[TR24][OF] Terence Blanchard - Magnetic - 2013 (Modern Creative, Post-Bop)

Magnetic is the highly anticipated album by Terence Blanchard. The jazz legend is joined by his quintet which includes saxophonist Brice Winston, pianist Fabian Almazan, bassist Joshua Crumbly and drummer Kendrick Scott. The recording features ten originals written by Blanchard or a member of his quintet. It also showcases special appearances by bass legend Ron Carter, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and guitarist Lionel Loueke. Magnetic is another genre-defying chapter in this innovative musician’s illustrious career. The vast array of approaches undertaken by the ensemble throughout the album is striking, from the blistering bop of “Don’t Run” to the fragile ballad “Jacob’s Ladder.”
