Album Description
Available in:
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and to prove it, along comes LOVED ONES, the duet album from renowned pianist/educator Ellis Marsalis and his son, saxophonist Branford Marsalis. Together with Delfeayo Marsalis serving as producer, the two have created and album of ineffable elegance and subtlety. Comprised entirely of piano solos and piano/ sax duets, LOVED ONES is a quiet collection of fourteen classics from the American songbook, each saluting a different facet of the feminine mystique.
User Album Review
On Loved Ones, a set of music on which each of the 14 selections include a woman's name in its title, Ellis Marsalis takes five piano solos and has nine duets with his son Branford Marsalis. With the exception of a brief cooking rendition of "Liza," all of the performances are taken at a relaxed and sometimes quite slow tempo. Ellis Marsalis mostly lets the melodies breathe, infusing them with his own personality (the reworking of "Stella by Starlight" is quite intriguing) and often giving the songs somber interpretations. One wishes that there was more variations in tempos and moods. Branford Marsalis' appearances on soprano and tenor are always an asset, sometimes livening up the selections although mostly playing a subsidiary role to his father. The overall results are pleasing and thoughtful if not quite essential.
