Anytime Ellis Marsalis releases a new CD it’s likely to get my attention. This brand new release was no exception, but it wasn’t until I started reading thru the liner notes that I fully understood. This CD is being released on ELM music, the resurrection of a self-made label dating back to 1974 when Marsalis self-released a solo piano recording. Now, close to 40 years later his youngest son and resident drummer Jason has produced this CD, but the featured music was actually recorded in 1998 and wasn’t mixed until five years later, in 2003. And now it is finally being reissued on ELM. What I’m not sure of is whether this music was actually released in some other format previously, thus making this a reissue, or whether it sat dormant all this time. The liner notes are sort of hard to figure out. Ellis talks about this CD being the second chapter of the resurrected ELM label. But then Jason talks about reissuing old masters under the ELM label and also mentions ELM releasing new recordings as well. Yet the liner notes clearly list the recording date as October 5-6, 1998 and he never makes it entirely clear if this is a reissue, and if so, what and when the original release was.
So enough of the background. This is a collection of standards and in his typically refined manner the senior statesman of the New Orleans Jazz world gives us an impeccable performance with trio members who provide a very tight, cohesive and smooth sound. This kind of music really is pretty timeless… and for an older recording, the sound quality is quite nice. Jason was still in his early twenties at the time of this recording but already displays a very light touch that is just perfect a repertoire that goes from lush ballads to uptempo bop with irresistible elements of swing and New Orleans second line. New or old, this music is welcome in my home any day!
