Terrell Stafford – Between Two Worlds
Le Coq Records
Trumpeter Terell Stafford’s Between Two Worlds was recorded at the Village Vanguard in July, 2020 under the strangest of circumstances.
The set was broadcast, but, thanks to Covid, there was no live audience. Stafford comments: “It really impacted me emotionally and spiritually. Driving into an empty city with no traffic to make music at a time when the world was shut down was mind blowing to me.” It’s no wonder that the set started with Victor Lewis’s “Between Two Worlds.”
