Terence Blanchard

A Tale of God's Will (A Requiem For Katrina) Socrates

 Blanchard’s jazz quintet manages to convey restlessness turning into terror, concern morphing into panic, disbelief and a sense of abandonment shifting to anger and despair.

 'Funeral Dirge' is the most intense piece, a tribute to the victims of the disaster, a way to ideally give them a worthy burial; a funeral march that grows like the tone of the trumpet.

 Listen now to Terence Blanchard’s moving requiem and discover the powerful story behind Hurricane Katrina through jazz.
