Irvin Mayfield and Ellis Marsalis’ new CD, Love Songs, Ballads and Standards received a fabulous review in today’s Times Picayune and on Nola.com. Select quotes from the review:

“lush, glittering arrangements of standards and not-so-standards”

“The warm, golden tones of the ‘Love Songs, Ballads and Standards’ cover art reflects the sumptuous music inside.”

“an old master and a brash student find common ground on an absolutely gorgeous and eminently listenable program.”

“Mayfield and Marsalis have set a high standard for the reborn Basin Street.”
