In Absence, 2018 USA Fellow, Oscar nominee, and five-time GRAMMY®-winning trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard celebrates both the brilliance of jazz master Wayne Shorter's legacy and the inspiration he has given Blanchard, influencing his ever-expanding amalgam of music and storytelling. For this monumental task, Blanchard unites his internationally acclaimed band The E-Collective, featuring young musical pioneers Charles Altura on guitar, Fabian Almazan on piano and synthesizers, Oscar Seaton on drums, and David "DJ" Ginyard on bass, with the double-GRAMMY®-winning Turtle Island Quartet. The album ABSENCE, celebrating the music of Wayne Shorter, was released by Blue Note in late August.
