Free Music Notes for The Marciac Suite
Free Music Review: Incredible
Hit: 5 Stars
Daring passages with note repetitions that remind me of minimalism in classical music, but with none of the hangover. Ecstatic balance of dissonance and traditional voicings with unexpected turns in structure throughout. It is of course, jazz in all of the usual respects, yet somehow executed with total originality. With so much trumpet playing it can be a bit of a long listen, but definitely hold out for the last track "Sunflowers."
The Marciac Suite Poster
Like Duke Ellington, Wynton Marsalis writes about many places and spaces. This 13-part opus, the final release of the trumpeter's Swinging into the 21st Century Series, is dedicated to the Jazz in Marciac Festival in France, where Marsalis has performed and taught since 1991. Stylistically, the work bears the style-spanning traits of a Marsalis composition, running from waltzes to carnival tunes. There are the sensual ballads, like "Mademoiselle D'Gascony" and "Guy Lafitte" with its echoes of Billy Strayhorn's "Chelsea Bridge" and tenor saxophonist Victor Goines's evocative solo. Marcus Roberts's stride piano dance illuminates "For My Kids at the College of Marciac," while "Marciac Fun" is powered by the Afro-Caribbean rhythm supplied by drummer Herlin Riley and Roland Guerrero. Naturally, Marsalis's trumpet takes center stage throughout the recording, most notably on the mainstream swinger "Loose Duck" and on the midtempo "Sunflowers," with its intriguing optimistic melody and slightly dissonant railroad-horn riffs. All told, Wynton Marsalis has composed an aural postcard that shows off the swinging sights and sounds of his home away from home. --Eugene Holley Jr.Jazz Music CDs
