After meteoric affirmation as one of the most creative and fascinating American contemporary jazz musicians, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire launched the album Origami Harvest in 2018, a new foray into relatively unchartered waters – featuring a core quartet of strings and the electronica of keyboardist Sam Harris. According to an expressly political purpose, of challenging the everyday racism that assails his country, Akinmusire directs a musical journey that convenes the most daring jazz, funk, spoken word, soul and hip-hop – a whole digest of great black folk music transformed under the eye of an exceptional musician in an amazing and inventive combustion of sound.
