Great album,
By
This review is from: Hot House Flowers (Audio CD)
Thanks to Bob Freedman (Berklee College of Music, arranger and composer) who arranged so well this album. It's not just some strings playing guide tones, it's a whole work of melodic construction and harmonisation. He made simple tunes sound like never before. Just great.Wynton, very talented was a good player for the arrangements. At this age he already had a very strong attitude in his sound. I would recommend this album not only for trumpet players, jazz musicians, but to composers and arrangers. Listen to Bob, he did a great job.

Work Into It..........,
By
This review is from: Hot House Flowers (Audio CD)
I've had this cd about 8 years and now consider it exceptional.At first, I wasn't sure.......not about his playing (he's always had exceptional command of the instrument) but I suppose the orchestral arrangements threw me. After all these years of having this in my collection I now fully appreciate the backing! True, on this cd, Wynton does remind me (and I'm sure a lot of people) of Miles and like Miles, a lot of what he has done fails to appeal to me....but that's certainly not knocking his talent. As stated previously by an earlier reviewer, this is an introspective set best enjoyed in the late evening or possibly a rainy or snowy day or any time one is kicking back to relax. I've never heard it get much air time on a jazz show....it's enjoyable, but more of a mood type of music.

Whew....What An Album!!! Marsalis Excels Yet Again!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hot House Flowers (Audio CD)
"Hot House Flowers" was released in 1984 on Columbia Records and is yet another fine release by Marsalis. To anyone who hasn't heard this exceptional trumpeter, please do so, because you're missing some great music.
Marsalis is joined by an orchestra on a majority on the album. This was his first with album with a jazz orchestra and it remains one of his best yet. He is also joined by Branford Marsalis (tenor and soprano saxophone), Jeff Watts (drums), Ron Carter (bass), Kenny Kirkland (piano). The music is just one gorgeous song after another and anyone into jazz with an orchestra should really check this one out! Highly recommended.
