Grammy Award winner, Keyon Harrold, one of the world's most sought-after genre-bending trumpeters, releases 'The Mugician' via Legacy Recordings. Long known as the artist's artist - he has worked with Maxwell, Common, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Eminem and a long list of the world's top musical icons - The New York-based musician now takes centre stage with a captivating LP that ponders the fears and frustrations of a divided country while yearning for justice and peace. As the word "Mugician" is an impromptu hybrid of words, this album is an accumulation of Keyon's eclectic tastes, with stylistic twists and turns everywhere taking cues from jazz, hip-hop, blues, rock, reggae, and rap. The new LP features an all-star list of collaborators, including Gary Clark Jr., Big K.R.I.T., Bilal, Pharoahe Monch and Robert Glasper. From spiritual chants and soulful singing to bombastic expressions of frustration and melodic pleas for understanding, Keyon's arrangements colour the different ways to hear the world in 2017.
