Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet

Ambrose Akinmusire has been heralded 'a major creative figure in the making' (Jazzwise) and 'comparable with some of the biggest names in African-American jazz, Miles Davis included' (Guardian).

He started out performing with a string of acclaimed musicians, including Joe Henderson and Joshua Redman, and he's since gone on to play in the bands of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.

Since the release of his debut Blue Note album 'When The Heart Emerges Glistening', Akinmusire has played to packed houses at Ronnie Scott's and across the UK, fast becoming one of the most striking figures on today's jazz scene.
