"A trumpeter and composer of rare intuition and inspiration, Blanchard will perform Feb. 20 in Miami as part of the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts' acclaimed Jazz Roots series, returning to his iconic Malcolm X Jazz Suite with his band, The E-Collective, and two-time Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet. Created after he wrote the score for the 1992 Spike Lee biopic "Malcolm X," Blanchard has over the years updated and expanded the suite, performed here as part of the ongoing centennial celebration of the slain civil rights icon. Visit ArshtCenter.org."
"Taking place at The Hangar in Coconut Grove and the Miami Beach Bandshell from Feb. 25-March 1, this third edition of the festival has grown by two nights to accommodate a lineup led by the multitalented Jon Batiste and Trombone Shorty's New Orleans Celebration (which includes PJ Morton of Maroon 5 and Tank of Tank and the Bangas), Nile Rodgers & Chic, Toto, Bomba Estéreo, Makaya McCraven and more."
