Terence Blanchard rendered the bay region proud during its performance at the Super Bowl Lix.
Yes, he also rendered the proud host city – his hometown of New Orleans – especially since the performance of the trumpeter was part of a really cool tribute to the city of Crescent which was presented in front of the chiefs of Kansas City and the Eagles of Philadelphia faced Sunday in Caesars in Caesars and the Eagles of Philadelphia faced Sunday in Caesars in Caesars and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Caesars in Caesars and Kansas City Superdome.
However, the supremely talented trumpeter – who is also a famous group leader and a composer of films nominated in the Oscars – also has solid links of the Bay region because of his role as an executive artistic director of SFJAZZ, based in San Francisco.
He is also known to play in the wonderful performance space for arts -organization – the sfjazz center. Indeed, he has just played a stand of four nights in the space at the end of January. (Read our review Terence Blanchard Sfjazz Center Night 1 here.)
Harry Connick Jr. – Another of the many notable native sons of Fat City – was an obvious choice to present the joyful tribute to the music of New Orleans. He would do a good job to pump the public of the show, which started with Blanchard on the trumpet.
This projector came and came quickly enough, but it was still enough to present tens of millions of viewers with whom Blanchard is a force with which it is necessary to count on the trumpet.
From there, the tribute would star the Soul Rebels, the Southern University Human Jukebox Marching Band, The Spirit of New Orleans Gospel Choir and – Of course – a return of Connick to add a part of his voice and his musicality To the mixture while the tribute attracted a closure.
Getting to the corner of New Orleans, the inhabitants of Louisiana Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty would later combine the forces for a festive vision of “America the Beautiful”, then Jon Batiste followed with the national anthem .
