Free Music Review: Music For Kids....I Think Not! Another Great Marsalis Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
"Joe Cool's Blues" was released in 1995 on Columbia Records and is the second album to feature Ellis Marsalis, the first being "Standard Time, Vol. 3: The Resolution Of Romance," which is an excellent recording, see my review.
The focus of this music is on Charlie Brown. I'm sure why he made this album, but I'm glad he did, because it has some excellent materal on it. My favorite being "Buggy Ride." Listen to Wynton's Dizzy Gillespie style mute solo, it's amazing in it's virtuosity. Marsalis is clearly one of the greatest trumpeters of his generation. Anyone who doubts that clearly has no understanding of the instrument.
This recording is divided up between Wynton's septet and Ellis' trio. The musicians include: Wessell Anderson (alto & soprano saxophones); Victor Gaines (tenor saxophone, clarinet); Wycliffe Gordon (trombone); Eric Reed (piano); Benjamin Wolfe (acoustic bass); Herlin Riley (drums), Ellis Marsalis (piano); Reginald Veal (bass); and Martin Butler (drums). All musicians are superb and provide excellent support.
I highly recommend this album if you like Vince Guaraldi or just good jazz.
Joe Cool's Blues Poster
Personnel-wise this is a Marsalis family affair; and how delightful it must be for both Wynton and Branford to engage the talents of so adept a family member as their father (and fellow Columbia recording artist), pianist Ellis Marsalis. With Branford on tenor saxophone, and younger brother Delfeayo on trombone, an Ellis-led ensemble features a delightful turn by New Orleans vocal treasure Germaine Bazzle on the playful "Little Birdie." Otherwise on the CD, Wynton's regular septet shares the selections on a 60-40 basis with Ellis's trio. The musical subject matter dovetails neatly with Wynton's ongoing jazz-education work with children: the selections are from the songbook of Charles Schultz's Peanuts characters, including odes to "Linus & Lucy," "Peppermint Patty," "Snoopy & Woodstock," and of course "Charlie Brown," pictured on the cover merrily engaging the jazz bass. The music is delivered with loads of humor, but lest one get the impression of total frivolity, these songs stand up solidly as jazz vehicles. --Willard JenkinsChildren's Music Music CDs
