Review

CMJ (2/28/00, p.33) - "...wonderfully swinging, large-ensemble pieces that are startlingly innovative yet accessible....one of the year's finest efforts."
Down Beat (11/00, pp.68-9) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Demonstrates that he's mastered the cinematic skill of creating and sustaining atmosphere....Blanchard moves smoothly between melancholy lyricism and terse agitated lines..."
JazzTimes (5/00, pp.138-40) - "...There is a handsome, dusky quality to this date, rather like a rich black coffee or that mahogany table you've been coveting, as Blanchard explores a fine palette of moods and colors..."

Title Note

Personnel: Terence Blanchard (trumpet); Aaron Fletcher (alto saxophone); Branford Marsalis, Brice Winston (tenor saxophone); Edward Simon (piano); Dave Holland (bass); Eric Harland (drums).

Recorded at Clinton Recording Studios, Studio A, New York, New York from June 15-17, 1999. Includes liner notes by Terence Blanchard.

"I Thought About You" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.

Jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard has quite the resume: he played in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the 1980s and composed music for some of director Spike Lee's films. Blanchard is fairly unique: a relatively young (born 1962) jazz player, he achieves a rare balance between loyalty to the Jazz Tradition (swing, melodicism) and the pack of players who, without necessarily being "avant-garde," want to push at the boundaries (think Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Andrew Hill).

His style is rooted is Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard, but also the under-appreciated Woody Shaw. Like them, Blanchard keeps the game fresh and vital--nine of the ten tunes are his, and they are well-thought, unpredictable compositions (as opposed to "frameworks" for the soloists to strut their stuff). On MOON, he's joined by a couple of notable veterans--saxophonist Branford Marsalis and the powerful, supple acoustic bassist Dave Holland (who's played with everyone from Miles Davis to Bonnie Raitt). Pianist Edward Simon plays with sweet lyricism as well as vigor, and Eric Harland is a stunningly dynamic drummer in the multi-rhythmic Blakey mold.
