from a performance in the late 1980's with a fine solo from Marcus Roberts, piano, and interplay with Jeff Tain Watts, drums. Bob Hurst is on bass. Wynton Marsalis, trumpet.

Live at Blues Alley is one of the best jazz albums of all time. The interplay between the four of them is inhuman, possibly the best I've ever heard as well. What makes it even sicker is that Marcus is blind and the others hardly ever look at each other; listening of the highest order. Cheers from Florida.

This is straight ahead jazz in its most basic, most beautiful form. I could sit and listen to these guys play all day long.

Yeh, this is when Wynton was really happening. Strange that he abandoned this 'style' of music. In fact everybody was strong in that band. Marcus Roberts was also full of promise, Robert Hurst to.

Why isn't this out on CD and DVD? Both Marsalis brothers are at their best when Watts is the drummer. He is able to push them in ways that other drummers can't.

Well, I must say that Wyntons opinions about the importance of to learn the roots of jazz. It serves the music and keeps the ingredients that I like about it! Moore people should spend moore time litsening to Ellington and Sidney Bechet these days.

One more thing: I'm simply an amateur jazz musician, not a professional. Wynton has volunteered for a service project I helped put together in New Orleans for this June.

Listen to Wynton smoke that Bach--give up those stupid Monettes. Maybe he would sound like this again,. He would have been the best trumpet player ever had he stuck with the bach.
