Ambrose Akinmusire — Mondavi Center
Composer and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire creates work that transcends genre, weaving threads of jazz, hip hop, contemporary classical music, and spoken word into compositions that are as poetic and graceful as they are bold.
Akinmusire studied at the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz in Los Angeles, where he was mentored by Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Terence Blanchard. Named Best Trumpet in the DownBeat Critics Poll for eight consecutive years, he has earned a reputation as one of the most vital composers of his generation.
