TERENCE BLANCHARD TO CO-HEADLINE TOUR WITH BRANFORD MARSALIS SPRING 2011 

New Orleans, Louisiana.  In what is certain to be one of the most highly anticipated jazz tours of 2011, Terence Blanchard and Branford Marsalis are set to perform a series of 12 dates across the country on a rotating double-bill featuring both of their bands.  The tour will take-in such cities as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Minneapolis and Atlanta.  This unprecedented coupling of two modern-day jazz heavyweights will kick-off February 25^th

(see www.TerenceBlanchard.com for a complete listing of dates and venues).

Blanchard recently completed the score for Guy Moshe’s adventure thriller, “Bunraku,” starring Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Josh Hartnett and Ron Perlman, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.  “Buraku” has been hailed as a creative tour-de-force, combining the aesthetics of a futuristic samurai film and spaghetti western with a stylish blend of neo-noir expressionism.   Blanchard’s music was also recently seen in Spike Lee/HBO’s If God’s Willing And The Creek Don’t Rise, commemorating the fifth anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and the sequel to the critically-acclaimed 2006 film, “When The Levees Broke.”  The film shows the current state of Blanchard’s native New Orleans five years after Hurricane Katrina, and follows the lives of several individuals and their families in the aftermath of one of the worst disasters to occur in U.S. history.  Blanchard won a Grammy for his 2007 CD “A Tale of God’s Will (A Requiem for Katrina),” which included tracks from Levees.
