THE TERENCE BLANCHARD RELAUNCHES TERENCEBLANCHARD.COM

We've received an announcement of the birth of the new Terence Blanchard website — a project that has been in the works for quite some time. Designed to share all of the many wonderful aspects of Terence's ever-evolving life as a musician, film and theatre composer, touring artist, writer of Opera and all-around Renaissance man, www.terenceblanchard.com features the latest news on upcoming projects, tour dates, exclusive photos, an in-depth discography and filmography, press information, music and film trailers, and ever so much more.

The new contemporary website embodies Blanchard's futuristic vision, his commitment to fans and his goal of broadening the global reach of Jazz. As a 5-time Grammy Award winning Jazz artist with over 25 years in a transforming music industry, Blanchard has embraced the technological advancements and retail shifts by creating an interactive socially driven site that is fan-centric, sales driven and that coalesces his multiple brand platforms.

Special features in the new site include an in-depth discography and filmography that provide fans with sought after recording credits and often requested purchase links for hard to find recordings and films. The site also features a quick and easy Tour page, enabling fans to not only see all upcoming shows but also allows them to add shows to their schedule and share via social media sites. The site also offers an extensive press archive and a wealth of video and audio interviews including never seen concert footage. The Collaboration page gives breadth to Blanchard's numerous artistic partnership and programs including Blanchard's specially curated Paradise Jazz Series with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, his work with the Detroit Jazz Festival and Opera Theatre St.Louis.

As a bridge to his social media platforms, the site allows for one click access to Terence Blanchard's youtube channel, his @T_Blanchard Twitter feed, a community generated Flickr page and the Terence Blanchard Facebook page. Also a very special new feature includes a Resonate page where fans can resonate with Blanchard and learn more about his favorite top ten Jazz albums, his favorite restaurants in New Orleans and can enjoy a special curated Boxing playlist from Songza.

The site also introduces the new Terence Blanchard logo, a personal abstract signature of a gold trumpet, anchored by a partially visible silhouette of the famed trumpeter in his signature blowing stance with his name imprinted in a strong Black modern Gotham font. The branded logo and streamlined site was designed by Dan Rosen of Dan Rosen Design, developed by Nick Sagona of moc10media with strategic branding and marketing guidance by Laura Tennyson of Lura Belle Productions.
