...Obscure Ellington tunes such as "The Giddybug Gallop" and "Anitra's Dance" from the Peer Gynt Suite preceeded the most impressive moment of the evening, "Jack the Bear." Ellington's double bass feature for Jimmy Blanton was competently played by bassist Ben Wolfe. However, the cameo appearance of pianist Marcus Roberts proved to be the highlight of the tune. Roberts stretched the harmonies of his blues choruses with Monkish lines, piano runs reminiscent of Ellington's "Ko-Ko" and an unparalled rhythmic concept.

Though he only rarely picked up his horn, Marsalis also distinguished himself, particularly in his trumpet duel with Marcus Belgrave and his balled performance.

Condemned to death, he was resentenced to life imprisonment, in part because the King family opposes capital punishment...
Jazz piano is so glutted with talent these days that it's hard to get through a week without another new prodigy popping up somewhere. With flying-fingered young virtuosos like Marcus Roberts, Cyrus Chestnut and Eric Reed trying to outdo one another on showy new solo albums and jostling for attention in nightclubs from Bourbon Street to Greenwich Village, competition on the keyboards is more intense than it has been in years.
