Album Notes
There is an extra track on this disc not listed on the cover.
Personnel includes: Wynton Marsalis (trumpet); Branford Marsalis (tenor saxophone); Kenny Kirkland (piano); Ron Carter, Charnett Moffett (bass); Jeff "Tain" Watts (drums).
Recorded at RCA Studio A, New York, New York in January 1985. Includes liner notes by Stanley Crouch.
Without overtly meaning to, Wynton and Co. have created a superb tribute to the classic Miles Davis Quintet of the mid-1960s (the edition featuring Wayne Shorter's sax, Herbie Hancock's piano, Ron Carter's bass and the late Tony Williams' drums) without coming off as a pale imitation. The interplay of Wynton's group is so tight and empathetic it's uncanny. No one over-plays, and the various instrumental elements combine perfectly into a seamless whole. The tunes are memorable and have a strong sense of dynamics. Modern small-group jazz (rooted in the '60s traditions a la Miles and Wayne) at its very best.
