Branford Marsalis - Footsteps of Our Fathers (2002)

Branford Marsalis / Joey Calderazzo: Songs of Mirth and Melancholy
by Mark F. Turner
The Swedish proverb “Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow," is one that perfectly exemplifies Songs of Mirth and Melancholy, from saxophonist Branford Marsalis and pianist Joey Calderazzo.
