QLS Classic: Terence Blanchard

As we celebrate the final week of Black Music Month 2026, revisit this 2021 episode of Questlove Supreme featuring renowned composer, musician, and arranger Terence Blanchard. Blanchard's 30-year creative partnership with Spike Lee has made them, in Quest's words, "the best combo of film director and film scorer." While his work on the majority of Lee's films is remarkable in itself, it represents just one chapter in an extraordinary career spanning film and television.

Recorded as Blanchard prepared for his second Academy Award nomination for Da 5 Bloods , this conversation finds him sharing the true story behind his incredible journey with Questlove and Team Supreme. See for privacy information.
