Easy contemporary jazz, led by 24-year-old trumpeter Mayfield ... who's done some fun work with Los Hombres Calientes but is in tame, suit-and-tie form here. Mainstream stuff -- nothing adventurous here, but it's well executed. The Gimmick: These songs were commissioned to accompany a photography exhibit by Gordon Parks, an 89-year-old artist who's been the subject of an HBO documentary. Parks plays piano on track 9; Wynton Marsalis guests on 8. 1*- Mid/fast, slinky 2- Slow, romantic 3- Interesting percussion gives way to mellow piano jazz 4- Soft 5**- Mid/fast, with players trading off solos. Cookin'. 6- Sappy 7- Slow, kinda '70s 8*- Mellow New Orleans blues, with some pretty cool soloing 9- Slow, atmospheric 10*- Slow, stormy, with some "free" elements | ||
