Terence Blanchard – A Tale of God’s Will
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, New Orleans native son Terence Blanchard has created an impassioned song cycle, A Tale of God’s Will (A Requiem for Katrina), as his third album for Blue Note Records. (Since signing with the label in 2003, Blanchard has released two other critically-acclaimed albums, Bounce and Flow, the latter of which was nominated for two Grammy®s in 2006.) This 13-track emotional tour de force of anger, rage, compassion, melancholy, and beauty features Blanchard’s quintet — pianist Aaron Parks, saxophonist Brice Winston, bassist Derrick Hodge, drummer Kendrick Scott — as well as a 40-member string orchestra.
