 CD Review of Branford Marsalis Quartet - Eternal on Rounder Records @ jazzreview.com
Stylistically, Marsalis, though he has experimented with the form in past recordings, felt confident enough to record an album of solely ballads, delving into the feel of the songs and transmitting that to his listeners rather than impressing them with technique.
Besides those two songs and Michael Carr’s smarmy “Dinner For One Please, James” (recorded at the request of Watts), the remaining tracks are those composed by the members of the quartet.
The final, and longest, number is Marsalis’ “Eternal,” which he wrote for his wife, and as a description of her on tenor sax, going through several movements as she, Nicole, goes through series of emotions as well.
