Ambrose Akinmusire - on the tender spot of every calloused moment

180-gram gatefold LP

Ambrose Akinmusire follows his acclaimed, genre-busting 2018 manifesto, Origami Harvest, with another visionary statement on his new album on the tender spot of every calloused moment. The trumpeter examines blackness on an uncompromising set of modern jazz laced with a heavy blues feeling. The album presents 11 new compositions by Akinmusire, featuring his quartet — pianist Sam Harris, bassist Harish Raghavan, drummer Justin Brown — with guest vocals from Genevieve Artadi and Jesus Diaz.
