This is one of Wynton Marsalis' first recordings--a program of standards played by his first quintet (featuring brother Branford), with the occasional participation of a string and horn section. The orchestrations augment the impeccable Marsalis quintet, but never "sweeten" or compete with it. "For All We Know" and "Melancholia" (the latter with Miles-ian mute playing) features some incredibly beautiful ballad playing from Marsalis, maybe the best he's ever done. It's a laid-back, late-night mood album of considerable and durable substance, as beautiful as any of the early 1960s Miles Davis and Gil Evans collaborations.
