Trumpeter Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah is an artist who perpetually moves forward. He's been killing it for years, playing at the top of his game since he was a kid in New Orleans and putting out album after album over the years with depth and emotion and scope and the best players around. As an educator in the Crescent City, his latest band configuration is made up largely of young, killing musicians who he had the pleasure of guiding in their youth, incorporating the modernity of his own sound with the craftsmanship (in numerous regards) of the old masters of the genre. This says nothing about his boldness on the horns he designed himself; the stories he can tell in life, in song, and in breaks on the bandstand (his stage banter is worth the price of admission alone); his overall general swagger and style. His latest album, Stretch Music, shows all this. His second AoC Fest performance, and one of numerous rolls through Durham, will say that even more. - Anthony Dean-Harris
