Music reviews of The Bright Mississippi
Music Review: fresh take on traditional jazz
Rating: 5 Stars
I grew up with jazz in my house--live jazz from Dixieland greats like Eddie Condon, Marian McPartland, Zutti Sims and Wild Bill Davidson; all of whom played at my father's jazz festivals and on his recordings (Fat Cat's Jazz). This is the real deal...but a fresh take on the standards and others. Absolutely the best St. James Infirmary I've ever heard. The song selection and pacing are fantastic; everyone in our house loves it from the teenagers to the 50-somethings.
Description of The Bright Mississippi
Through his work as producer, composer, arranger and consummate session man, New Orleans native Allen Toussaint has truly earnedliving-legend status. He's collaborated on landmark recordings for such artists as Ernie K. Doe, Lee Dorsey, Dr. John, the Meters, the
Pointer Sisters and Labelle and released acclaimed albums of his own. The 70 year-old pianist, already a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Inductee, was the recipient, on the recent Grammy Awards telecast, of the Recording Academy s prestigious Trustee Award, honoring a lifetime in the studio, both behind the scenes and in front of the mic. On The Bright Mississippi, his Nonesuch debut, Toussaint continues to break new ground with his first jazz-oriented set, displaying the same effortless swing and relaxed charm he brought to his classic rock and roll sides. He salutes Big Easy stars of a previous generation, the jazz greats who, in the early 20th century, built the genre from the ground up and turned the ears of the world to New Orleans.
