Josh will keynote and lead a panel on essential items to consider when licensing music to Film/TV shows, commercials, and video games. Atrium Music is currently seeking clients.
In recent years essential issues such as digital music licensing, song placement in Film/TV/Games (aka, Sync Licensing), and payment for music played on music streaming platforms (Spotify, Pandora, Music Choice) has become paramount to artists, their management and record labels.

“As a composer, Terence Blanchard’s music is steeped in jazz, but he’s also an incredibly versatile artist whose works range from film to Broadway to opera and back again,” said Ringer-Ross. ”His emotionally compelling scores make sociological statements about sensitive cultural issues faced by many, both past and present. We’re thrilled to name Terence a BMI Icon and celebrate the best in music for film, television and visual media.”
Blanchard joins an elite group of previous BMI Icon recipients who have received this honor for their ”unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers.” Past honorees include Alan Silvestri, James Newton Howard, Alexandre Desplat, Rachel Portman, David Newman, Thomas Newman, Danny Elfman, Harry Gregson-Williams and John Williams, among many others.
In addition to honoring Blanchard, William Ross will receive BMI’s Classic Contribution Award in recognition of his impeccable skills as an arranger, orchestrator, conductor and composer. He’s also one of the most sought-after collaborators in the business. In receiving this award, Ross joins a prestigious list of previous recipients including Rick Baitz, Lucas Richman, Peter Golub, Mike Post, Chris Montan, David Newman and Terence Blanchard, who received this honor in recognition of his vital work as an educator and mentor to emerging composers in 2010.

2018 USA Fellow and five-time GRAMMY Award-winning trumpeter/composer Terence Blanchard has been a consistent artistic force for making powerful musical statements concerning painful American tragedies – past and present.
From his expansive work composing the scores for Spike Lee films ranging from the documentary

Malcolm X;
Inside Man; 25th Hour (for which Blanchard received a Golden Globe Nomination); to the timely and Oscar-nominated Lee film,

Blanchard is a world-renowned jazz trumpeter and film composer with more than 33 albums and 50 film scores to his credit. Most recently he received an Oscar nomination for his music in Spike Lee’s blockbuster
BlacKkKlansman, which the

Outside of his work in film and television, Blanchard is a celebrated bandleader and trumpeter with an unwavering dedication to jazz education - frequently holding master classes around the world. Blanchard also serves as the Artistic Director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s jazz series and has teamed with Opera Theatre St. Louis to premiere his second opera on June 15,
Fire Shut Up in My Bones, based on a memoir by celebrated
NY Times best-selling author, Charles Blow.

The Tale of Despereaux, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, Tuck Everlasting, Ladder 49 and
My Dog Skip, to name a few. He also adapted and conducted the score to
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. His work in television is equally as impressive and includes the scores to Hallmark Hall of Fame’s
In My Dreams, Lifetime’s
Steel Magnolias, the critically acclaimed miniseries
Me and My Shadows, and
Life With Judy Garland, as well as the Emmy-winning music for the *Tiny Toon Adventures**’* episode “Fields of Honey.” As an arranger, Ross has worked with some of the top talent in the world, including Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Quincy Jones, David Foster, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, and the list goes on.
Throughout his career, Ross has received many accolades, including four Emmy Awards, three BMI Film Music Awards, as wells as nominations for an Annie Award and two GRAMMY Awards.

is acclaimed internationally as one of the true master improvisers still performing today. Knighthood was bestowed on Jordan by the Republic of France where he holds the title Chevalier des Artes et Lettres. Last year he received an honorary Doctor of Music from Loyola University New Orleans. Kidd earned a degree in music from Southern University Baton Rouge and a master’s from Millikin University.

Flutist
Kent Jordan
is one of an infinite number of prolific musicians that swells from within the concrete jungle of the Crescent City. Although often regarded as a fusion musician, he is an assertive, cogent player of modern jazz as well, particularly on alto flute. Jordan studied at the New Orleans' Center for the Creative Arts where he was inspired by jazz patriarch, Ellis Marsalis, then completed his education at the Eastman School of Music.
While Kent has toured and recorded with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Alvin Batiste and the legendary Elvin Jones, Jordan's sound is uniquely his own, developed through years of study, performing, teaching and maturing. As writer Khephra Burns states, "The clear, authoritative voice that was uniquely his from his debut recordings has grown richer…”
Kent presently heads the music department at Lusher Charter School, an arts intensive program in New Orleans, as well as serving as an instructor at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage School of Music. He also teaches the big band and flute curriculums at the Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp.

Vocalist
Stephanie Jordan
, whom critics have placed in the company of Diana Krall and Dianne Reeves, began to receive noted prominence following the national televised
Jazz at Lincoln Center Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Benefit Concert
for victims of Hurricane Katrina. “On that memorable night; none sang with greater authority or emotional resonance than Stephanie Jordan (accompanied by Kent, Marlon, and Rachel), who enthralled the packed house and a national PBS NPR audience of millions with an ascendant reading of “
Here’s to Life
.” Bill Milkowski of
JazzTimes
Magazine writes “Stephanie Jordan, a standout here, was the real discovery of the evening. Her haunting rendition of this bittersweet ode associated with Shirley Horn was delivered with uncanny poise and a depth of understated soul that mesmerized the crowd...Singing with a clarity of diction that recalled Nat “King” Cole.”
Jordan brought the concert to its climax with impeccable diction, dead-center pitch, and a personal point of view, acknowledging Horn’s antecedent version while drawing independent conclusions about tempo, phrasing, and dynamics. In the process, Jordan… revealed a fully evolved tonal personality, one that can be mentioned in a conversation about such distinguished mentors and influences as Horn, Abbey Lincoln, and Nancy Wilson.”
Stephanie’s current show continues her signature trademark of singing jazz standards from the Big Band era. It includes highlights from her self-produced CD;
“Stephanie Jordan Sings A Tribute to Lena Horne”
which honors the legendary Grammy Award winner who starred in many films. She
has performed on such stellar stages as the Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the NBA All-Star Game, Chicago's Harris Theater, the Marians Jazzroom in Bern, Switzerland, “
The Palace” Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, and
the inaugural International Jazz Day which was celebrated by millions worldwide and
live on NPR’s
Talk of the Nation
.
Audix microphones proclaimed her "Lady Jazz!"
A graduate of Howard University, Stephanie is also a certified fitness instructor and creator of Jazz Pilates. Jordan is Choir Director and Vocal Instructor at a local elementary school.
(Note: The Stephanie Jordan Big Band will also perform on Sunday, April 27th)

Trumpeter
Marlon Jordan
was one of the "Young Jazz Lions" who were signed, recorded and promoted on major record labels. He recorded three impressive LPs for Columbia from 1998 to 1992, For You Only; named "one of the best debut albums of the year" by the
Washington Post
,
Learson's Return
, and
The Undaunted
, and one for the Arabesque label entitled
Marlon's Mode
in 1997. "The comparisons of Jordan's style to artists such as Charlie Parker and John Coltrane put him in the upper echelon of jazz history. He has the resume and the style that would be hard, if not impossible, for anyone of his own generation to beat."
His last album
, Marlon Jordan featuring Stephanie Jordan, You Don't Know What Love Is
announced the return of an exceptional trumpeter. “This dancing and delicious document reveals a mature artist who sounds like himself. You can hear Jordan's clean, boppish lines laced with power, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the entire jazz trumpet tradition, signed in own unique sonic signature. The setting for this session finds its precedent in the immortal jazz albums, Clifford Brown with Strings, and Bird with Strings.”
During his earlier days, Marlon had the day to day inspiration of Wynton Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, and many others to draw on. The young musicians often hung out at the Jordan household where they would practice music with Kent Jordan and take lessons from Kidd. "I started out playing saxophone, violin and drums," says Marlon, "but the trumpet was the instrument that stuck with me." Marlon recalls his father literally taking him on the bandstand "even before I really knew how to play. He'd introduce me to all the musicians, and they'd call me up on the stand. They'd say, 'Come on. That's Kidd's son. Let him play."
An accomplished classical musician as well, Marlon has performed solo with the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra, but his true joy is his constant performance in the streets and nightclubs of New Orleans and Brazil. Marlon took his quintet on the road, joining Wynton Marsalis, Miles Davis and George Benson as a headlining act in a series of JVC Festivals produced by George Wein in Atlanta, Dallas and other cities. They also played in some of the country's top jazz clubs, including the Blue Note and the Ritz, highlighted by a run at the Village Vanguard.
Marlon graduated from the famed New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts.
