I am not a jazz fanatic, although I like a lot of jazz, mostly fusion and often involving guitars in various forms. Recently got into Chris Botti who plays some great music, but THIS IS SUBLIME. The most amazing jazz album in my memory. I'd heard of Terence Blanchard but had none of his music, but I read a review of this and decided to bid. I am so pleased I did. This is a love song to New Orleans written in the aftermath of Katrina and it conveys Blanchard's love for his home city, his reflections on the effects of Katrina and his dissatisfaction, anger even, at the Government's response. With contributions from nearly all of his sidemen, each of whom plays out of his skin, the album is drenched in great orchestration from a 40 piece ensemble and dominated by the most exquisite trumpet playing. A must buy!!Read full review
