Movie Reviews of The Marsalis Family - A Jazz Celebration
Movie Review: Once in a lifetime event!
Summary: 5 Stars
This live concert commemorated Ellis Marsalis' retirement from teaching (high school for over 25 years, then at the University of New Orleans.)Most of his children are musicians, and two of them are more famous than he is: Branford Marsalis and Wynton Marsalis. Ellis was Harry Connick Jr's piano teacher. (You can hear Ellis' influence in Harry's early piano playing.) Branford (saxophone), Wynton (trumpet), Jason (drummer), and Delfeayo (trombone) join their father for a trip through various styles of jazz, some old favorites, and also a couple of Ellis Marsalis' original compositions. Harry Connick Jr stops by for a couple songs with his band and does a duet or two with Ellis on piano; it's interesting to see teacher and student performing as equals side-by-side. Standout performances include the Marsalis family's rendition of Louis Armstrong's "Struttin' With Some Barbeque" and Harry Connick and Lucien Barbarin's duet on "St. James Infirmary." Another jewel is the performance of "Cain and Abel," a Branford Marsalis composition, by brothers Branford and Wynton. I highly recommend this and the audio recording of the concert as well to all Marsalis family fans.
Summary of The Marsalis Family - A Jazz Celebration
Jazz may have had its King (Oliver), its Duke (Ellington), and its Count (Basie), but if there's a single royal family, it has to be New Orleans pianist Ellis Marsalis and his remarkable sons, trumpeter Wynton, saxophonist Branford, trombonist Delfeayo, and drummer Jason. Recorded in their hometown in August 2001, this 82-minute concert (plus another half hour of excellent interviews) brings all five together in a variety of settings, from solo pieces to full group workouts. The music, including such chestnuts as "Caravan" (a nice duet with Ellis and guest Harry Connick Jr.), "Saint James Infirmary," and Louis Armstrong's "Struttin' with Some Barbecue," is impeccable (as are sound and visuals). And if the pristine concert hall vibe doesn't exactly encourage getting down and dirty, well, the Marsalis Family, long one of jazz music's class acts, can still get over--anytime, anywhere. --Sam GrahamMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
