The following text is from the concert's story page on NPR Music:

Trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire is only 29; his bandmates hover around that age too. But not only are they among the most sought-after and most distinctive players of their generation; they've been working together as a band for years already. Their collaboration bears fruit on 2011's When The Heart Emerges Glistening, a svelte and darkly modernistic disc highlighted by Akinmusire's clarion solos. The quintet performs from Newport's Harbor Stage.

Set List: 

  • Confessions To My Unborn Daughter
  • Henya
  • Jaya
  • Regret No More
  • Walls Of Lechuguilla
  • With Love

Recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival on Saturday, August 6.

Available for free to NPR member stations for broadcast, up to 4 times in 3 years. If you're not an NPR member station, contact programservices@npr.org.
