: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: It takes real talent from true jazz professionals to make an :,
: evening of playing familiar standards into a ômusical event.ö :
:' That is accomplished by trombonist, Delfeayo Marsalis, who ':
,: along with his father, iconic pianist, Ellis Marsalis, Jr., :,
: bassist Reginald Veal, and drummer, Ralph Peterson, recorded a :
:' concert at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, on April ':
,: 17, 2015. Delfeayo was at the University to lead a student :,
: workshop, and perform an evening concert. :
:' ':
,: Delfeayo has become a preeminent trombonist at the top of his :,
: game. His tone is warm and burnished with an innate swing that :
:' brings to mind J.J. Johnson. His father, Ellis, does not get as ':
,: much press (outside of his home, New Orleans) as his :,
: multi-talented sons, but his piano playing blends the strengths :
:' of Basie and Bill Evans. The audience response to Ellis on ôIt ':
,: DonÆt Mean a Thingö shows an appreciation of his piano mastery. :,
: :
:' Beginning with the 1923 penned, ôTin Roof Blues,ö the quartet ':
,: concentrates on mellow tempo blues standards. The theme of :,
: romance permeates the evening and ôMy Funny Valentineö is a :
:' heart melting ballad. A whimsical ôSesame Street Themeö is ':
,: given a funky treatment. :,
: :
:' ôIf I Were a Bellö features Ellis and the rhythm section, and ':
,: Reginald Veal on bass shines. ôThe Secret Love Affairö is the :,
: sole composition from Delfeayo and was featured on his last CD, :
:' The Last Southern Gentleman, (a five star release!). ItÆs ':
,: sumptuous, and would make a superb theme song for a detective :,
: noir film. (Cue to a late night smoky barà) :
:' ':
,: Near the end of the evening, Delfeayo brought out two WMU music :,
: students onto the stage for an on the spot improv blues, ôBlue :
:' Kalamazooö and Christian OÆNeill Diaz holds his own with some ':
,: mellow scatting. Drummer Ralph Peterson steps aside mid tune for :,
: Madison George to get behind the drum kit. :
:' ':
,: The concert concludes with a father/son duo reading of ôDo You :,
: Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans.ö Its tenderness, :
:' complete with DelfeayoÆs use of a wah-wah mute echoes a ':
,: memorable evening for both the site audience, as well as todayÆs :,
: listening public over two years later. :
