Free Music Notes for Black Codes (From the Underground)
Free Music Review: Simmering session
Hit: 4 Stars
A particular spice injected into this early and heavily cited Marsalis disc sets it even above and beyond so many patently impressive efforts. Unlike some of his later more abstract excursions, the highly focused recording balances stylistic intent with structured intelligence selflessly and successfully.
Black Codes (From the Underground) Poster
Much has been made of Wynton Marsalis's early-career emulation of the prefusion Miles Davis quintet, an obvious homage that only the most blinkered apologists have refused to ackowledge. Marsalis has accomplished so much on his own that the out-and-out tribute to the classic Davis lineup that "Black Codes..." represents should be seen as a positive step in the remarkable development of an artist rather than an act of fraud. This is sublime music by the first Marsalis quintet, led by Wynton on trumpet and featuring brother Branford on soprano and tenor sax, Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums, Charnett Moffet on bass and Kenny Kirkland on piano. All of these musicians would go on to greater heights, but they're in the zone here. --John SwensonJazz Music CDs
