Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
For his debut on this label, Magic Hour, Wynton Marsalis gets back to basics with a small combo. Taking a break from his large-ensemble works such as Blood on the Fields and All Rise, the trumpeter leads a quartet consisting of bassist Carlos Henriquez, pianist Eric Lewis, and drummer Ali Jackson. Labelmates Bobby McFerrin (who recorded with the trumpeter on the early 80s LP, The Young Lions) and Dianne Reeves join Marsalis on "Baby, I Love You" and "Feeling of Jazz." "Big Fat Hen" is peppered by a New Orleans-meets-Brazil second-line samba, while "Skippin'" is a Monkish riff tune with stop time. The title track, dedicated to the time when kids go to sleep, includes a melodic nod to "The Flight of the Bumblebee," a mid-tempo groove, a ballad and the Cuban clave. With the sterling production by younger brother Delfeayo, Wynton Marsalis starts off on the good foot. --Eugene Holley, Jr, Amazon.com

CD Description
Umpteenth album from the "acceptable" face of black American jazz, a controversial performer who has infuriated jazz purists and delighted conservative audiences with his forays into the world of classical music. After the epic orchestral arrangements of 2002's 'All Rise', he has returned to his roots with an intimate quartet recording of some well-known jazz standards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic mix, 31 Aug 2006
By Scott (Scotland) - See all my reviews
There's a bit of everything on this and all of it good. I'm a devoted Marsalis fan and maybe biased but still recommend you buy it for the opening track alone. Dianne Reeves' voice is superb and Marsalis sounds like he's playing it for fun. Add the lollopping rhythm underneath and it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

The rhythm and feel of You and Me, Free To Be and Big Fat Hen remind me of Citi Movement and The Marciac Suite with bits of hand-clapping and Ali Jackson sounding a lot like Herlin Riley (not a bad thing in my book).

Bobby McFerrin is excellent on Baby, I Love You. The band isn't too bad either.

The Sophie Rose-Rosalee wouldn't sound out of place on Standard Time Vol.3.

The title track is a bit odd but grows on me. Good riffs interspersed with bits of Bumblebee kinda stuff and chilled out piano in the middle.

Overall, a nice variety of styles and quality playing throughout. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Most annoying, however, is the copy control rubbish. What's the point? Record direct onto mp3 player, back to the PC to split and tag the tracks and back to the mp3 player again. Job done.
