New Interview!
Trumpet great Ingrid Jensen has performed world-wide with many brilliant musicians, but is best known for her work fronting her own band and as a featured soloist with the Maria Schneider Orchestra. Ingrid and I chatted last Spring while she was in town, but due to her extremely busy touring schedule, it's taken a little while for us to transcribe and edit the interview. I'm sure you'll agree it was worth the wait, however; she is very insightful and offers some personal glimpses into her music and upbringing that I'm sure you haven't read elsewhere.
There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tir'd eyelids upon tir'd eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
