Our Take

Jason Marsalis has crafted a musical masterpiece with "Heirs Of The Crescent City," blending traditional jazz with modern influences in a way that is as smooth as a freshly poured Sazerac.

From the opening track, "At the House, In Da Pocket," Marsalis sets the tone with his infectious rhythm and soulful melodies. It's like being transported to a vibrant street parade in the heart of New Orleans.

Each song on the album feels like a love letter to the rich musical history of the Crescent City, while also pushing the boundaries of what jazz can be. Tracks like "Black Snake Blues" and "Night Cap" showcase Marsalis's versatility as a musician, seamlessly blending elements of blues and funk into his own unique sound.

But it's not all serious business; Marsalis shines with his playful take on classics like "When the Saints Go Marching In," adding a fresh twist that will have you tapping your feet and dancing in your seat.

"Heirs Of The Crescent City" is a testament to Marsalis's talent and vision as a musician, and a reminder of the enduring power of jazz music. So grab a hurricane, sit back, and let Jason Marsalis take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, mate!
