American trumpeter, composer, and producer Theo Croker belongs to a lineage of innovative artists constantly pushing boundaries. His Grammy Award nomination and collaborations with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Ari Lennox, and J. Cole highlight a remarkable career. Boldly colliding jazz, dance music, experimental hip-hop, and soul, his new album Dream Manifest feels like leafing through a notebook of dreams captured in the moment. Fueled by propulsive rhythms and enchanting melodies, each track unfolds evolving atmospheres, from ambient, introspective drones to hypnotic fragments, even culminating in the ecstatic heights of house music.
