Viime vuosien valovoimaisimpiin jazzmuusikoihin lukeutuva Ambrose Akinmusire esiintyy yhtyeineen Tampereen ja Helsingin G Livelabeissa. Vuoden 2011 albumilla “When the Heart Emerges Glistening” läpimurtonsa tehnyt Ambrose Akinmusire kuuluu sukupolvensa ylistetyimpiin jazzmuusikoihin. Trumpetistin ja bändinjohtajan uralle on mahtunut muun muassa kriitikoiden
suosikkilevytyksiä, Grammy-ehdokkuus ja vierailu Kendrick Lamarin To Pimp a Butterfly -albumilla.
Akinmusiren seuraava odotettu albumi "honey from a winter stone" julkaistaan tammikuussa. Hänen edellinen albuminsa Owl Song oli suuri arvostelumenestys, ja sen tiimoilta hän konsertoi myös Suomessa alkuvuonna 2024.

“Akinmusire has been making some of the most intimate, spellbinding music of his career ... Even in its simplicity, Akinmusire’s trumpet can feel almost dangerously tender.”
—NEW YORK TIMES
“Music that seeks peace not just despite a world of unrest, but within it.”
—PITCHFORK

During his 15-year career, Ambrose Akinmusire has paradoxically situated himself in both the center and the periphery of jazz, most recently emerging in classical and hip hop circles. He’s on a perpetual quest for new paradigms, masterfully weaving inspiration from other genres, arts, and life in general into compositions that are as poetic and graceful as they are bold and unflinching. His unorthodox approach to sound and composition make him a regular on critics polls and have earned him earned him grants and commissions from the Doris Duke Foundation, the MAP Fund, the Kennedy Center.
The Berlin Jazz Festival and the Monterey Jazz. While Akinmusire continues to garner accolades, his reach is always beyond—himself, his instrument, genre, form, preconceived notions, and anything else imposing limitations.
Motivated primarily by the spiritual and practical value of art, Akinmusire wants to remove the wall of erudition surrounding his music. He aspires to create richly textured emotional landscapes that tell the stories of the community, record the time, and change the standard. While committed to continuing the lineage of black invention and innovation, he manages to honor tradition without being stifled by it.
Akinmusire is a rigorous practitioner with an uncompromising dedication to creation. “I’ve learned to accept the consequences of believing in invention and creativity. You’re gonna be misunderstood. But my horse blinders have gotten a lot longer and lot thicker over the years.”
