"...Mr. Blanchard showed what a stunning trumpeter he can be..."
- The New York Times

"He plays the most coolly expressive trumpet in jazz, transmuting the instrument’s repertoire of smears, growls, peeps, and blasts into an astonishingly fluid language both luxurious and controlled." - Vanity Fair
