5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Tasty, September 9, 2003

Branford and the cast play deep on every track. From the most soulful of ballads to the funkiest rendition of "Mona Lisas...", to the straight-ahead blowing from the horn section, to the way the rythmn section wraps around Maya Angelou's poetic verse on "Caged Bird", you'll have plenty to feast your ears on in each track. The musicianship is top-notch. And we out.

A mix of acid jazz, funk, beautiful vocals, and spoken word blended together in a way that allows you to play it over and over without tiring of the sounds. Save one or two song oddities that I skip, I can play this from start to finish. It's consistent enough to enjoy the theme of the band all the way through, unlike some of the more disjointed funk/jazz albums I've heard lately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking Recording, August 4, 2002

Truly amazing recording, the first outing of Branford Marsalis and a heavy-hitting cast of rappers, R&B singers, and DJ's, this album is a musical masterpiece. "Why the Cage Bird Sings" is an incredible song, in which Branford took a recoding of Maya Angelou speaking her poem, which I believe she one a Pulitzer for, and builds this incredible melody around it. The songs are different from each other in style, but all strong in their bond of musical genius.
