What are people saying about "A Tale of God's Will: A Requiem for
Katrina"
"With his soulful new album, Blanchard continues his crusade to
revitalize his hometown... a purposeful convergence of his film-composer
and jazz-musician identities... a melancholy suite that feels both
intensely personal and broadly cinematic."
-The New York Times
"...a triumph, an extended jazz suite that evokes a tragedy without
words and inspires emotions worthy of its subject."
-Washington Post
"Blanchard is a powerful storyteller. He doesn't need words to
express anger, frustration, heartbreak, resolve, hope or love-just a
trumpet."
-NPR
"[Blanchard] delivers his compelling and poignant reflections on the
catastrophe... In the tunes, there is anger and angst, lush melody and
woeful wails, pockets of grace and flood waters of melancholy."
-Billboard
