Album Review
Wynton Marsalis, very much in his Miles Davis period, plays quite melodically throughout this ballad-dominated outing with strings. Branford Marsalis (on tenor and soprano), flutist Kent Jordan, pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Jeff Watts are strong assets but it is Wynton's subtle creativity on such songs as "Stardust," "When You Wish Upon a Star," Duke Ellington's "Melancholia," and "I'm Confessin'" that makes this recording special. The arrangements by Robert Freedman generally keep the strings from sounding too sticky and Wynton's tone is consistently beautiful.
Customer Reviews
1st Listen
Never paid much attn t/Wynton when he hit, so now I'm going back t/his earlier stuff and heard a cut on a Ramsey Lewis show and had t/download a track.
Interesting Album
Yay 1st review! Okay now that that is done, onto the actual review. Wynton Marsalis has always had a strict line between jazz and classical, until this album. Following the other great "string" cds (clifford brown) he decided to try combining jazz with classical, and it worked! There are some great songs on here with Wynton soloing and the strings going in the background. If you like Wynton, and experimental jazz music or classical music, this cd is for you.
Straight muted
The horn is smooth '50s style; the strings are a bit too '50s. But the horn is there.
