Jazz musician and composer Terence Blanchard was born in New Orleans in 1962. He is best known for his African-fusion style trumpet playing, and the film scores he has written.

After leaving the New Orleans Centre for Creative Arts, where he studied the trumpet, Blanchard was considered good enough to work with jazz greats Ellis Marsalis Jr., Art Blakey and Lionel Hampton. After which he formed his own group, the Terence Blanchard Quintet in 1990.

He has had a long association with Spike Lee, and has written scores for his films including Malcolm X, Crooklyn and When the Levees Broke, the documentary series about the flooding of Blanchard's home town. He has also worked for other Directors, providing scores for Sugarhill, Mustang Sally and most recently Talk to Me.

Blanchard's work has been recognised by the Grammys; he received the Best Jazz Instrumental Album award for his work with McCoy Tyner on the Illuminations album, and nominations for his work with Ivan Lins and Brandford Marsalis.
