| |
| Branford Marsalis' longtime pianist Kenny Kirkland died two months |
| after the sessions for this album began ù hence the title ù and |
| after a futile attempt to finish the recording in December 1998, |
| Branford decided to leave the music as is, first takes and all. If |
| there are any serious flaws in the playing, they will escape the |
| vast majority of ears out there, for this is an uncompromising, |
| well-played disc of acoustic jazz that leans a bit toward |
| adventure at times. At first, Branford's foursome (Kirkland, Eric |
| Revis on bass, and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums) seems content to |
| turn out a pretty good facsimile of the John Coltrane Quartet, |
| with Kirkland playing brilliantly and reflectively in the McCoy |
| Tyner manner. But with "Lykief" ù a pun on Keith Jarrett's name ù |
| Branford takes up Jarrett's long unanswered challenge and pushes |
| through a tumbling, nearly rhythmically free piece attractively |
| anchored by Jarrett's gospel harmonies and melodic methods. |
| "Bullworth" blasts off on a Watts hip-hop rhythm, with Branford |
| going nuts in an angular bit of soloing, and "16th St. Baptist |
| Church" apparently sends the CD home on a funky New Orleans street |
| march, only to be followed by a touching, uncredited |
| Marsalis/Kirkland benediction. Once again, the post-Tonight Show, |
| post-Buckshot Marsalis makes a credibly serious jazz statement in |
| what turned out to be the swan song for one of the neo-bop era's |
| finest lineups. |
