"The sophomore album from Keyon Harrold, 2017's ambitious, socially conscious The Mugician, finds the New York-based, Ferguson, Missouri-raised jazz trumpeter laying out an intensely felt, genre-bending vision of jazz in the 21st century ... Harrold works to bridge genre gaps here, crafting expansive, often cinematic soundscapes that are equal parts improvisational jazz, psychedelic hip-hop, ruminative R&B balladry, and pointed social critique".

"After an inspiring "Voicemail" introduction from Harrold's mother, Shirley, the trumpeter blows confidently ahead of an epic medley of drums, piano and strings ... As the album progresses, you'll hear a mix of sounds that take from hip-hop, jazz, r&b and dub reggae".
