This initial CD of the three volumes that Wynton Marsalis subtitled Soul Gestures in Southern Blue is the strongest in the series due to the inclusion of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson and (on two of the five numbers) drummer Elvin Jones. Pianist Marcus Roberts occasionally emerges as the top soloist. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
