To see Branford Marsalis in concert is to witness the culmination of a life created solely for the furtherance of music. The firstborn son of epic jazz pianist Ellis and brother to famed trumpeter (and current Director of Jazz for the Lincoln Center) Wynton, Branford’s life and talent are simply examples of elements which cannot escape their own destiny. Yet here he is, pushing both the envelope and the age of fifty, performing as a classical saxophone soloist, recording and touring with his beloved quartet, even heading Marsalis Music, the label he created to both release his own projects and support the most promising of rising jazz talent. The Branford Marsalis Quartet’s new album, Metamorphosen, finds the group celebrating nearly a decade together without a change in the line-up, something nearly unheard of in the constantly evolving-and-revolving jazz community. But with chemistry like that between pianist Joey Calderazzo, drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts, bassist Eric Revis and their beloved leader, what other gig could possibly compare?
