The Branford Marsalis Trio deliver energy and spontaneity
Published:
‘In the studio Branford Marsalis emphasises melody and rhythmic drive over harmony, resulting in music that has clarity and drive, but with everyone free to play in the cracks. With this line-up something of a rarity in jazz today, it’s rather wonderful to be reminded of how the classic horn-led quartet can still really smash it.’
