A mid-career master regarded by his peers as one of jazz’s very best trumpeters, Terell Stafford possesses a huge, lithesome sound, bountiful imagination and a full-spectrum emotional palette with infinite shades of tenderness, sorrow, aggression and awe. While he’s recorded about a dozen excellent albums as a leader, he’s been more visible as a dependably inspired sideman who adds a potent jolt of energy into setting. Over the past quarter century he’s been sought out by veteran masters such as saxophone legend Jimmy Heath, pianist Cedar Walton, altoist Bobby Watson (for both his quintet Horizon and Tailor Made Big Band), drummer Matt Wilson’s Arts and Crafts, and the Clayton Brothers and Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.
