 Notes  
     The oldest of the four musical Marsalis brothers, Branford Marsalis has had
     an impressive career. After studying at Southern University and Berklee,
     Branford toured Europe with the Art Blakey big band in the summer of 1980
     (playing baritone), played three months with Clark Terry, and then spent
     five months playing alto with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1981). He
     mostly played tenor and soprano while with Wynton Marsalis' influential
     group (1982-1985), at first sounding most influenced by Wayne Shorter but
     leaning more toward John Coltrane at the end.
     Although the Spike Lee film Mo' Better Blues had a somewhat absurd ending,
     its depiction of the jazz life had its accurate moments and the music was
     generally quite rewarding. A few of the selections on this soundtrack CD
     are throwaways or filler, but there is also some fine playing by a modern
     hard bop quintet consisting of trumpeter Terence Blanchard, Branford
     Marsalis on tenor and soprano, pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Robert
     Hurst, and drummer Jeff Tain Watts. It's sure to be a collector's item
     someday.
