New Mexico Jazz Festival

18th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival

Schedule:

7:30 pm - 9:30 pm: Keyon Harrold Group at Outpost Performance Space

Award winning virtuoso trumpeter, arranger, and songwriter  Keyon Harold first came into the international spotlight for his work as the trumpet voice behind the Grammy winning Don Cheadle film 'Miles Ahead', and 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. Rooted in jazz music, “the band freestyles and solos with authority and weaves the spectrum of African American music into a sonic expression that can best be described as Bop Pop Hip-Hop Jazz!”  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, Eminem, Maxwell, and Anthony Hamilton, 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 including British R&B vocalist Laura Mvula, and Grammy winning musician, producer, and singer-songwriter PJ Morton.
