Marcus Roberts: The Truth Is Spoken Here
JAZZ LIVE! And the era is which it was moving out of its traditional or mainstream form is returning, Dieu merci, sweeping away the excesses of super blop, or was it buper sleep. It is there in the introspective interpretations on the piano of Marcus Roberts, with the equally restrained and lovely adumbrations of Wynton Marsalis on horn, in Marcus Robers: The Truth Is Spoken Here. This is a recreation of the time when jazz musicians were discovering the truths of dissonance and treating them gently. This recording is a CD best-seller, and deserves to be (RCA 3051-2-N).
For those who are giving some heed to my listings of classical jazz as transferred to CD, I offer the following, all out of the top drawer:
