KEYON HARROLD
Keyon Harrold, a world-class jazzman, returns to Warsaw at Jassmine and will feature his new album Foreverland. It is full of emotion and drama, a triumphant journey that takes the listener through good, bad, ugly and beautiful experiences, leading to wisdom. Harrold says: What I can offer as a musician playing an instrument is an honest communication of emotion.
We had the opportunity to hear Harrold’s trumpet on two Grammy Award-winning albums – the soundtrack to the film “Miles Ahead” and “Take Me to the Alley” by Gregory Porter. In the Jazz Times readers’ vote for the best newcomer of 2015, Keyon took second place. Wynton Marsalis himself called him “the future of the trumpet”. The work of the star of the Jassmine concert is the result of jazz traditions, the spirit of soul and R&B music, and hip-hop energy and authenticity. Keyon Harrold doesn’t care about genre labels.
