Miguel Zenon: Jibaro
by AAJ Staff
For his second Marsalis Music release and third overall, alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón returns with the same crew from Ceremonial (2004) to celebrate the rural music of his Puerto Rican homeland.

Doug Wamble: Bluestate
by Jim Santella
Based on the blues, Doug Wamble's modern mainstream jazz album combines heartfelt emotion with forward-looking creativity.

Branford Marsalis Quartet: Eternal
by John Kelman
When you hear that an artist is doing a ballad record, the first thing that comes to mind is “accessible product, commercial album for the masses." And, truth be told, some records seem to fit that description perfectly--Michael Brecker's Nearness of You: The Ballad Book , for example, sported an ace team of players but was ...
Branford Marsalis Quartet: Eternal
by Jim Santella
Branford Marsalis is a deeply romantic artist. His isn't the kind of Pollyanna disposition, where everything seems rosy and bright no matter what others may think.
