WILLIE NELSON & WYNTON MARSALIS [EMI]

What do you get when you cross one the worlds’ best country singer/songwriters with one of the world’s best trumpeters and jazz singers? You get a flawless recording with impeccably good taste, well-built character and exceptional form. Singularly, these two men are dynamite dangerous; together they’re nuclear hot.

These two legends come together for a liberating jam of well-known blues classics like the elegantly mellow ‘Stardust’, the ear candy of ‘Georgia On My Mind’, an audience-filled live version of ‘Night Life’, the jazzy swing of ‘My Bucket’s Got a Hole In It’ and of course, the duelling trumpet and harmonica of ‘Basin Street Blues’.

For an ex-trumpeter like myself, Wynton has lips of gold. He makes love to that horn like no other man.
