Wynton Marsalis Live At The House Of Tribes CD

 The Wynton We Been Waiting For
This is the Wynton we been waiting for this is his best CD of the new millennium while I love his own original works it is great to hear him playing these incredible standards with a band that is red-hot. His trumpet playing has never sounded better and Eric Lewis on piano sounds like a young Art Tatum. Wessel Anderson on alto saxophone plays with raw abandon, this album is produced by Delfeayo Marsalis he is the hottest producer in jazz right now. If you have never been a Wynton fan before this is the time to give him another try, this is jazz the way it was meant to be played. One of the top 10 of the year.

 Shades Of Woody Shaw @Lee Morgan
This is the Baddest post50s hardbop that I have heard in a long time.Mr Wyton use New Oreleans& New York cut cards he has been holdin up his Trumpet Sleeve. The elongated solos and the cerebal blistering speed would make Woody and papa Lee Morgan proud.

 Hands Down the Best
This a new standard to any Jazz lovers collection, Wynton's interpritation of these classic's is nothing short of incredible. With every song (just about) featuring a solo from everyone in the band it shows that Wynton HIMSELF isn't just great but that the people he plays with are great also. Wynton's choices of pieces are reasonable for he is a huge supporter of the classic style and you can't deny that thats what he's playing though he does throw in a few twists along the way. Wynton Marsalis is one of the most influential Jazz player/composers of this Century and still he can amaze not having reached his full potential yet. He starts off with Monk's famous "Green Chimneys", this shows not only his technical skill but also his power and energy. Sliding from the Thelonious Monk Piece he enters with the slow starting "Just Friends" featuring a supurb bass solo from bassist Kengo Nakamura. He changed the mood of the room with a bone chilling rendition of "You Don't Know What Love Is". Lighting up the room with his fast flowing smooth flury of notes from the Charlie Park song "Donna Lee". Calming the room back down with "What Is This Thing Called Love" Marsalis gives without a doubt the best proformance of the night. Finally closeing out with a Piece Entitled "2nd Line" he sends everyone home with a smile hearing his entergetic exit from the show. I hope to see more of his work looking more like this.
