Breathless is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard. The album was released on May 26, 2015 via Blue Note label. The record also produced one single, "Soldiers".
Breathless features Blanchard's new band, The E-Collective, consisting of Fabian Almazan on keyboards, Charles Altura on guitar, Donald Ramsey on bass, and Oscar Seaton on drums. The album also features Maroon 5's PJ Morton on three cuts, and JRei Oliver, Terence's son, on spoken word. Blanchard explained that he and drummer Oscar Seaton, with whom he has recorded several film scores, had been talking about an album like this for years before they finally found time to record it. Like his previous album A Tale of God's Will, this record is also a thematic album inspired by tragedy. The album title serves as a reminder of the last words said by black New Yorker Eric Garner (“I can’t breathe”) in a chokehold by a NYPD officer and explores the effects of racism and the aftermath of its devastation on societies around the world.Breathless was nominated for 2016 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.
