Jazz Celebration
In 1981, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and saxophonist Branford Marsalis burst on the scene as the young lions who started a jazz renaissance. They were followed by their younger brothers, trombonist Delfeayo and drummer Jason. Incredible as it sounds, they've never recorded together as a family. On August 4, 2001, at the University of New Orleans, they performed with their father, the esteemed pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis in a concert that marked his retirement from the school's jazz department. Supported by bassist Roland Guerin, the family delivers a swinging live program of standards and original works in trio, quartet, and sextet combinations. The elder Marsalis's pristine pianism colors his midtempo tune "Swingin' at the Haven, " while Jason Marsalis's Afro-tinged intro peppers the standard "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top. " Wynton and Branford declare their brotherly love on the saxophonist's Ornette Coleman-esque "Cain and Abel. " Actor-singer-pianist Harry Connick Jr. joins in on the fun with "Twelve's It" and "St. James Infirmary. " --Eugene Holley Jr. Binding Audio CD. Artist(s): Marsalis Family.
