Jason Marsalis - The 21st Century Trad Band (Audio CD - 10/27/2014)

Following 2013's In A World of Mallets (#1 on Jazz Radio), the youngest of New Orleans' Marsalis Jazz dynasty Jason Marsalis is back with his 2nd Vibes Quartet release, The 21st Century Trad Band. Backed once again by Will Goble on bass, Austin Johnson on piano, and David Potter on drums, The 21st Century Trad Band puts a spotlight on the growing synergy among these young and talented musicians. Songs like 'BP Shakedown' and 'Offbeat Personality' showcase the unit's propensity for combining lush melodies with pulsating rhythms. Together, they deliver music with a high level of complexity without isolating the listener, a testament to the band's rapport. Jason Marsalis is a musician with a lot to say, but like any worthwhile artist he lets his work do the talking. With The 21 Century Trad Band, The Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet continue to help keep contemporary Jazz relevant for and through the younger generation of its musicians.
