With his Lincoln Center jazz program firmly in place, the late '90s found Wynton Marsalis poised to achieve his career-long goal: making jazz the new classical music. Ensembles like the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and albums like this one may very well usher jazz into a new millennium where it's afforded an appropriate amount of respect. Marsalis has a keen sense of history, as evidenced by this tribute to the music of Duke Ellington. The thick, robust alto sax of Wessell Anderson and the grand, vibrant voicings of pianist Cyrus Chestnut lend a warmth and geniality to this program of Ellington classics. As the Orchestra moves through chestnuts like "C Jam Blues," "Black and Tan Fantasy" and "Mood Indigo," a deeper tribute to Duke becomes apparent. Despite the prowess of the soloists, the players sound dedicated to the ensemble dynamic above all else. There can be no plainer mark of Ellington's influence.
