: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Keyon Harrold was born and raised in Ferguson, MO, the St. Louis :,
: suburb that tore into AmericaÆs national consciousness in 2014 :
:' with the police shooting of Michael Brown and the bitter ':
,: protests and riots that followed. While Ferguson looms large in :,
: HarroldÆs album The Mugician, it examines our troubled times :
:' through a far wider lens than any one tragedy. Sweeping and ':
,: cinematic, the music draws on elements of jazz, classicval, :,
: rock, blues, and hip hop to create something uniquely modern, :
:' unmistakably American. Guests including Pharoahe Monch, Gary ':
,: Clark, Jr., Big K.R.I.T., Guy Torry, Georgia Anne Muldrow and :,
: Robert Glasper add to the recordÆs eclectic nature, but it :
:' ultimately triumphs as a unified, cohesive whole both because ':
,: of HarroldÆs virtuosic skill as a trumpeter and songwriter and :,
: because of his relentlessly optimistic belief in brighter days :
:' to come. ':
,: :,
: Harrold grew up one of 16 children in a family that prioritized :
:' music and community across generations. His grandfather was a ':
,: police officer who retired from the force to found a drum and :,
: bugle corps for local youth, both of his parents were pastors, :
:' and nearly all of his siblings sing and perform music today. ':
,: Culture shock hit Harrold hard at 18, when he left Ferguson for :,
: New York City to enroll in The New School. In New York, he :
:' landed his first major gig with Common, an experience which he ':
,: says broadened his musical horizons beyond jazz to include funk, :,
: Afrobeat, R&B, and hip hop. Soon he was performing with stars :
:' like Snoop Dogg, Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Eminem, Maxwell, and ':
,: Anthony Hamilton. :,
: :
:' In 2009, he released his solo debut, Introducing Keyon Harrold ':
,: and then won wide acclaim for his trumpet performances in Don :,
: CheadleÆs Miles Davis biopic Miles Ahead. The Mugician is a :
:' portmanteau of ômusicianö and ômagician, a nod to a nickname ':
,: Cheadle bestowed upon the young virtuoso, and itÆs an apt :,
: descriptor for a record that pushes beyond the traditional :
:' boundaries of jazz trumpet. In fact, the album doesnÆt even ':
,: begin with trumpet, but rather with a track called æVoicemail,Æ :,
: which features an inspirational message from HarroldÆs mother :
:' set to a stirring, orchestral soundscape. Entirely unedited, ':
,: her words lay the groundwork for an album that celebrates the :,
: importance of family (ten of KeyonÆs siblings appear on the :
:' record) and the absolute necessity of optimism in the face of ':
,: darkness and doubt. These days, Harrold is a parent himself, and :,
: he pays tribute to his son with a pair of tracks on the album, :
:' ôLullabyö and ôBubba Rides Again.ö Issues of identity and ':
,: equality percolate throughout the record, sometimes subtly :,
: beneath the surface, sometimes more pointedly, as in ôCircus :
:' Show.ö However, the albumÆs most powerful moments come with the ':
,: one-two punch of ôMB Lamentö and ôWhen Will It Stop,ö songs :,
: written in the wake of Michael BrownÆs death and the senseless :
:' killings of so many others like him. ':
,: :,
: ItÆs a monumental task, one that calls for tremendous empathy :
:' and sensitivity. To give voice to the silenced requires more ':
,: than just talent and ambition, it requires faith, imagination, :,
: strength, and determination. Above all, it requires perspective. :
:' Fortunately, that is what Keyon Harrold brings most of all. ':
