By MARK F. Trumpeterband leader film scorer Terence Blanchard is the epitome of an artist who's made good choices. Imprinted with Blanchard's cinematic and swinging style the music is rooted but contemporary advocating new ideas that include excerpts of a conversation between Blanchard and philosopher, author, and activist, Dr. The combination of eloquent intellectualism and stirring composition forms a thematic imprint
