Prelude... to Cora is the debut studio album by American jazz trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. [3] [4] It was released by Fresh Sound New Talent. Akinmusire composed all but three tracks, including jazz standard "Stablemates" by saxophonist Benny Golson. The album is dedicated to Akinmusire's mother, Cora. [5]
John Barron of All About Jazz stated: "On Prelude: to Cora, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire offers a wide-open musical perspective, inviting a wealth of influences to shape a personalized approach to improvisation and composition. Akinmusire seems content with allowing the music to fall where it may; eschewing trends and any pre-conceived notions about what is expected from a debut recording." [1]
