As a staunch jazz classicist and a vociferous
champion of its traditions, Wynton Marsalis should seem right at home
playing an album of jazz standards. And, in fact, he does. Marsalis is
well suited to classic, acoustic sets, in part because of his clear,
lyrical tone on the trumpet, but mostly because of his love for the
music (Marsalis's aversion to avant garde, fusion, and other
experimental takes on the genre is well known).
The set list of STANDARDS has many of the usual
suspects, including "April in Paris," "A Foggy Day," "Django," and
"Caravan." It's clear Marsalis isn't out to radically re-invent these
tunes, but rather to give them classic renderings, summoning the ghost
of early, acoustic post-bop with an appealing sense of balance, beauty,
and technical precision.
