They Shoot, He Scores

Jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard is

one of Hollywood’s preeminent composers, having scored 20 of Spike Lee’s projects— including last year’s BlacKkKlansman, which earned him his first Oscar nomination—and Harriet, Kasi Lemmons’s upcoming biopic of abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Blanchard has also begun experimenting with opera, most recently writing the music for Fire Shut Up in My Bones (based on the New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow’s 2014 memoir),
