Trumpeter, composer, jazz historian, and author Muneer Nasser is available for musical performances, jazz /blues master classes, jazz history lessons, self-publishing how to's and more. Muneer's new release Blue House Session contains some of the purest, most tunefully accessible stuff this side of 1965. There’s blues in spades—oozing out of every corner, not just in the original track “Nasser’s Blues” or the Miles Davis cover “All Blues.” There’s also a wallop of Afro Caribbean sounds, including two Cuban-spiced numbers, “Cancel Culture” and “Public Eye,” and a reggae pastiche in “Black Disciples.”
