Editorial Reviews :
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.
