JAZZ@theEDGE Festival! Featuring: Keyon Harrold ft/ Peter Collins
Grammy winning, global trumpet sensation KEYON HARROLD to feature music from his highly-anticipated upcoming release "Melancholy Aura" as well as "The Mugician".
"Keyon Harrold is the future of the trumpet" and "one of the most sought after trumpeters in the world!" Wynton Marsalis
"One of 10 New Artists You Need to Know Now." Rolling Stone
"Keyon Harrold is equal parts music and magic." Billboard
Raised from the fires of Ferguson, Missouri, and schooled in the straight-ahead jazz tradition at the New School in New York, Keyon is one of the world's most sought-after, emotionally electric young trumpeters on the scene.
Keyon's friend Robert Glasper recruited him to play in Don Cheadle's great Miles Davis movie "Miles Ahead", which garnered him a Grammy. Just as Miles Davis broke down musical boundaries, Keyon uses his prodigious jazz chops to blow down all musical genre barriers. He has been featured on over 100 albums ranging from jazz, R&B, hip-hop, gospel and blues. He has toured and recorded with some of the world's best artists, including Jay-Z, Mac Miller, Beyonce, Robert Glasper, Prince, Common, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Mary J Blige, Rihanna, Gregory Porter, Andre Crouch, D'Angelo, 50 Cent and LL Cool J to name a few. He was an integral part of 2x Grammy winning album "Black Summer's Night" by R&B icon Maxwell.
Keyon is fast becoming a star solo artist in his own right. He's not simply a musician, but also a magician: A "mugician", a notion evoked by director Don Cheadle when describing the trumpeter's spellbinding performance style. Keyon's latest studio album, "The Mugician", inspired by the Ferguson events examines our troubled times through a far wider lens than any one tragedy. Sweeping and cinematic, the music draws on and obliterates the boundaries between jazz, classical, hip-hop, rock and blues to create something uniquely modern, unmistakably American, and triumphantly cohesive -- thanks to Harrold's virtuosic skill as a trumpeter and songwriter, and his relentless optimistic belief in brighter days to come.
Singer, songwriter, and musician, Peter Collins, is an incredibly talented musical interpreter who breaks down traditional genre defined boundaries. Peter effortlessly melds R&B, Gospel, Folk and Jazz with a sincerity and tenderness that will take your breath away. Every note he sings tells a story as he masterfully weaves through soulful melodies. Collins is a supremely talented improviser with amazing musical instincts, making every performance unique. He regularly opens for Kanye West. Peter's voice is clear, sultry, and soulful. He possesses such a masterful command with his voice that he'll have you singing along; and his guitar playing is remarkable in its own right. This rare, intimate acoustic performance is not to be missed!
