This unmissable concert, hosted by Spike Lee, will feature music from his soundtracks alongside specially-edited images of his finest films. Spike's long-time musical collaborator, trumpeter Terence Blanchard, will be joined by his jazz ensemble and full chamber orchestra to recreate the music from many of Spike's films including Malcolm X and his latest, 25th Hour. They will be joined on-stage by a host of special guest singers including Blue Note's Dianne Reeves and duo Floetry, who mix hip hop, rap and R'n'B with spoken word. Floetry received three Grammy nominations this year including Best R'n'B Song.
