AllMusic[1]

Romantic Defiance is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard.[2][3] The album was released on May 30, 1995 via Columbia and contains eight original lyrical compositions written by Blanchard.

Critical reception

Peter Watrous of The New York Times wrote "...the composition, full of bursts of melodies and winding ribbons of notes, was often overwhelmed by long improvisations. Mr. Blanchard's group is exceptionally aware of dynamics, and during the suite he and the band managed to impart, through long quiet sections, a real sense of tranquillity."[4]
