 Ballads for the soul May 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Just finished listening to this beautiful, artistic CD for 10th time, and only received it yesterday. Each time is gets better and I loved it the first time! I have followed Irvin's illustrious career for the past 10 years and know that Irvin Mayfield has done more to keep New Orleans music fresh and alive than anyone in that historic town. This tribute to his deceased father who perished in Katrina is a classic that will live for years. And who better than to share in the tribute than the retired NOCCA director, Ellis Marsalis, one of Irvin's mentors and certainly a legend in his own right. Thanks, Basin Street Records, for believing in Irvin and bringing this treasure to the public.
Absolutely Gorgeous! May 21, 2008

Sit back and enjoy this absolutely gorgeous CD led by two of New Orleans' greatest musicians. The CD includes tracks with strings (the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra)and the rhythm section is stellar.
Fantastic album from one of the best Jazz artists! May 21, 2008

To the reviewer who criminally gave this album just one star, you don't have to like this album. But, before you comment on the music, at least get to know it. Ellis Marsalis plays PIANO! You might have heard of his sons, Wynton (the legendary trumpeter) and Branford (the celebrated saxophone player). The trumpet playing is courtesy of Irvin Mayfield, who is not only arguably the best living trumpet player but is also the cultural ambassador to the city of New Orleans. For those interested in buying this album, do not let that last silly review discourage you. I'm from New Orleans, so I'm very familiar with these musicians. This is a fantastic album and a creative take on some classic music. The "off key" notes to which the previous reviewer refers is a little creative thing called Jazz. What more can I say? If you want to hear two master Jazz musicians at work, buy this album. On the other hand, if you want elevator music, buy elevator music. Maybe Kenny G. is more up your alley.

Once a year, a buy a disc that is a mistake. Ellis Marsalis' idea of playing a trumpet is akin to scratching a nail on a blackboard. He likes to play off-key a lot too. I respect that jazz artists take liberties with familiar songs but he seldom isn't even close. Buy a Chet Baker disc instead.
