{"product_id":"music-evolution","title":"Music Evolution","description":"Amazon.com\n\nWhile he releases his straight-ahead jazz projects under his own name, Branford Marsalis pursues his fusion experiments under the group name of Buckshot LeFonque, even though he's the only consistent member from track to track. Marsalis and such jazz colleagues as trumpeter Russell Gunn, keyboardist Joey Calderazzo, saxophonist David Sanborn and bassist Ben Wolfe seem to be having great fun as they run changes over the funk beat of \"James Brown,\" the hip-hop loops of \"Try These On,\" the Latin-jazz heat of \"Jungle Groove\" and the harder-than-hard-bop on the untitled, hidden bonus track. The album stumbles, however, when it tries to come to terms with words, as it does on eight of the 13 full-length numbers. There's some marvelous music in the background of these songs--the rhythmic punch of hip-hop linked to the harmonic imagination of be-bop-but it's hard to get past the awkward wordplay dominating the foreground. --Geoffrey Himes\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002BJ4\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002BJ4.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Buckshot Lefonque\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
