Time flies when you are making great music, as Branford Marsalis will be the first to attest. “I had no idea that two years had passed since we made our last album,” says the celebrated saxophonist, composer, producer and leader of the Brandford Marsalis Quartet. The realization prompted a trip to the studio and the result of a visit to Durham, North Carolina’s Hayti Heritage Center, Metamorphosen. Their latest release and another milestone from an ensemble that continues to set the pace regarding jazz creativity. Marsalis Music will release the latest statement by its founder in March 2009.
