Product Description
Description
Every Branford Marsalis album is an important event. His strength of tone, musical conviction and dynamic personality have made him one of the most highly acclaimed figures in modern jazz. REQUIEM is Marsalis doing what he does best; leading a straight-ahead quartet session with plenty of space forpowerful solos. With his good friends and regular bandmates--Kenny Kirkland (piano), Jeff "Tain" Watts (drums), Eric Revis (bass)-by his side, the saxophonist is at the peak of his artistry.
The hard-bopping "Doctone" opens the set, immediately showcasing Marsalis' prowess as a first-rate improviser. Next, Paul Motian's "Trieste" displays the quartet's ability to construct several textures and moods within a single composition. Turning to his soprano, Marsalis plays with a happy tone on the radiant melody of "Lykief". Watts' New Orleans-style funk groove drives the dynamic "Bullworth" for a spicy change of pace. In an energetic show of fearlessness, the blistering "Elysium" is performed as a sax-bass-drums trio with no chordal support. Sadly, that configuration foretold a tragic future; REQUIEM was the last recording by pianist Kenny Kirkland before his untimely death in 1998.
