Description
WYNTON MARSALIS Black Codes (From The Underground) hails from 2023 and is a SEALED limited edition 180 Gram LP. Black Codes (From The Underground), the 1985 jazz album by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, is the VMP Classics Record of the Month for August 2023. It's here on 180g black vinyl with DAA lacquers cut from tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound.
This is probably the best Wynton Marsalis recording from his Miles Davis period. With his brother Branford (who doubles here on tenor and soprano) often closely emulating Wayne Shorter and the rhythm section (pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Charnett Moffett, and drummer Jeff Watts) sounding a bit like the famous Herbie Hancock-Ron Carter-Tony Williams trio, Wynton is heard at the head of what was essentially an updated version of the mid- to late-'60s Miles Davis Quintet (despite Stanley Crouch's pronouncements in his typically absurd liner notes about Marsalis' individuality). The music is brilliantly played and displays what the "Young Lions" movement was really about: young musicians choosing to explore acoustic jazz and to extend the innovations of the pre-fusion modern mainstream style. Marsalis would develop his own sound a few years later, but even at age 23 he had few close competitors.
