On this episode of AOS, we hear from trumpeter, vocalist and composer Keyon Harrold who has shared stages with rappers Common and Jay-Z, as well as Robert Glasper and many others.
In 2020, Harrold was thrust into another spotlight when his then 14-year-old son became the victim of a racial attack that became worldwide news all while we were dealing with another worldwide event: The Pandemic.
As many musicians do in jazz, Keyon took these life-changing events and turned it into music, and a new album, Foreverland, was birthed. The new single "Find Your Peace" features Common and Jean Baylor of the Baylor Project.
Keyon Harrold will be performing at The Blue Note in NYC January 22-24.Y
