Two young stars shining bright... Having released her second album When The Heart Emerges Glistening from the famous Blue Note label, Ambrose Akinmusire is considered as one of the most successful trumpeters of recent years. Singer-songwriter Gretchen Parlo’s album In a Dream has been labelled as the “most enchanting jazz album” of 2009. Now these two young stars perform one after another in a magical night of jazz at the 19th Istanbul Jazz Festival. The concert is realised as part of the Talent Opportunity Program of International Jazz Festivals Organisation, and is an unmatchable opportunity for getting to know these two important talents.
