Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
By the time he arrived at the juncture of his career expressed on this disc, Wynton Marsalis had begun to adapt an approach to both composing and bandleading that was spurred by his deep exploration of Duke Ellington's oeuvre. Introduced by Marsalis as his first extended composition, the title suite is the instrumental love saga of two characters, Sugar Cane and Sweetie Pie. The septet ensemble, which includes significant contributions from pianist Marcus Roberts, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, and saxophonists Todd Williams and Wessell Anderson, is rounded out by bassist Reginald Veal and drummer Herlin Riley. Further Wyntonian extended composition is found on "The Jubilee Suite." The sense of ensemble is first and foremost; the intricacies and shadings of that band relationship, along with the skillful execution of the soloists, are among the obvious charms of this disc. --Willard Jenkins

Wynton Marsalis had already shed the strictures of the early influences on his playing, and proven he could write extended conceptual pieces, on his early masterpiece, The Majesty of the Blues, by the time of this 1992 release. Blue Interlude still represented a quantum leap for the fast-evolving composer and trumpeter. Like the jazz master who'd become his greatest inspiration, Duke Ellington, Marsalis was writing with his whole septet in mind at this point, prefiguring the epic effort of Blood on the Fields. The nearly 40-minute long title track ranges from traditional New Orleans jazz through gutbucket blues and Ellingtonia into bop and beyond without ever losing its digressive thread. Reed player Todd Williams also weighs in with a serious compositon, "The Jubilee Suite." --John Swenson
