Down Home Up North: Gumbo with A Twist
5
By JazzReview
Stellar Marcus Roberts rewards the listener with a blend of down south blues and up north standards in this superb collection. His trio opens lushly with a bit of New Orleans Blues. The sublime Ellington masterpiece Black and Tan Fantasy is here in worth hands. Bud Powell smiles from beyond with the melodic In Walked Bud. All in all, a real winner and stellar piano collection. We are reminded what Wynton Marsalis saw in Marcus Roberts once upon a time! Do yourself a favor...buy this tonight and have an Abita Turbodog with a Nathan's redhot.
