Wynton Marsalis: Live At Blues Alley auf 2 CDs

+ Marcus Roberts, Robert Leslie Hurst III, Jeff "Tain" Watts

Great jazz music can claim any space, but the nightclub remains its signature setting, the place where musicians and audience most seek communion in the spirit of swing. Here is music from nights when the spirit was so strong it threatened to swing everybody right out of the building. As a great quartet – Wynton, pianist Marcus Roberts, drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts and bassist Robert Hurst — rip into Charlie Parker’s “Au Privave,” Ray Noble’s “Cherokee,” and accent a cross section of Wynton’s own tunes including “Knozz-Moe-King,” “Skain’s Domain,” “Delfeayo’s Dilemma,” and “Much Later.”
