In 2007, Terence Blanchard took a giant step on his continuing creative odyssey with his Blue Note album, A Tale of God’s Will (A Requiem for Katrina). This beautiful and impassioned song cycle about the physical and emotional ravages launched by Hurricane Katrina upon Blanchard’s native city of New Orleans won the Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. Also in 2007, Terence composed and recorded his forty-first career movie score, this one for the Kasi Lemmons film Talk to Me starring Don Cheadle.
