18th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival: Keyon Harrold Group
Award winning virtuoso trumpeter, arranger, and songwriter, Keyon Harrold first came into the international spotlight for his work as the trumpet voice behind the Grammy winning Don Cheadle film ‘Miles Ahead’ and for his critically acclaimed album, The Mugician. As a bandleader, he has created a compelling new statement with his mix of jazz, Afrobeat, soul, spoken word, hip- hop, blues, rock, and even American folk and his quintet is being recognized for making one of the strongest artistic statements of any musical group today. With a distinctly warm trumpet sound that “simmers in the middle register, creating drama without aggrandizing, and mesmerizing live audiences with an emotionally charged concert presentation,” Wynton Marsalis called Harrold the future of the trumpet. In addition to being one of the leading voices in Jazz, Harrold has collaborated with many of the top hip hop and pop artists including Snoop Dogg, Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, and more, as well as rock legends Keith Richards and Jeff Beck. He is currently touring in support of his 2024 release, Foreverland, a crossover album featuring several vocalists. Joining Keyon Harrold tonight will be Matt Sewell, guitar; Chad Selph, keys; Dan Winshall, bass; and Cleon Edwards, drums.
