The trumpet superstar is currently one of the most important, innovative figures of the contemporary music world. He has collaborated with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma and Herbie Hancock to Paul Simon and Sting, and is as likely to play the second movement of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” as he is Al Green’s grooving “Let’s Stay Together”.
