Album Notes & Community Reviews
A landmark album for the neo-bop movement, this record made a powerful case for the timelessness of the Great American Songbook. Marsalis and his classic quartet deconstruct and reinvent classic tunes, infusing them with complex rhythms, sophisticated harmonies, and a thoroughly modern improvisational sensibility. The album was a critical and commercial success that showcased the deep historical knowledge and stunning virtuosity of his quartet.
