Personnel-wise this is a Marsalis family affair; and how delightful it must be for both Wynton and Branford to engage the talents of so adept a family member as their father (and fellow Columbia recording artist), pianist Ellis Marsalis. With Branford on tenor saxophone, and younger brother Delfeayo on trombone, an Ellis-led ensemble features a delightful turn by New Orleans vocal treasure Germaine Bazzle on the playful “Little Birdie.” Otherwise on the CD, Wynton’s regular septet shares the selections on a 60-40 basis with Ellis’s trio. The musical subject matter dovetails neatly with Wynton’s ongoing jazz-education work with children: the selections are from the songbook of Charles Schultz’s Peanuts characters, including odes to “Linus & Lucy,” “Peppermint Patty,” “Snoopy & Woodstock,” and of course “Charlie Brown,” pictured on the cover merrily engaging the jazz bass. The music is delivered with loads of humor, but lest one get the impression of total frivolity, these songs stand up solidly as jazz vehicles. –Willard Jenkins
