June 18, 2014

by Marc Davis
June 18, 2014

Marcus Roberts: Portraits in Blue

Read "Portraits in Blue" reviewed by Marc Davis

by Marc Davis
June 18, 2014

This has to be the most raucous, the most bluesy, the most improvisational “Rhapsody in Blue" ever recorded. And not all of the best improvisation is by Marcus Roberts. Wailing clarinets and wandering trumpets abound. And it is all in a spirit of the original, so much so that I believe jazz-loving George Gershwin would have ...
