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.
