I saw the Branford Marsalis Quarter at Koerner Hall in Toronto a week ago and am still buzzed about the performance. Since then, I've been looking for a recent good-quality set to share here and this is the best I've come across so far. It features Branford with his quartet at the San Bernardo Jazz Festival in Chile on October 17, 2023. Like the Toronto show, it features Branford and the quartet in full flight with brilliant playing and telepathic interplay between the musicians. My favourite piece from the concert is "As Summer Into Autumn Slips".
I think the only song he played in Toronto was "The Mighty Sword".
1. The Mighty Sword
2. In A Mellow Tone
3. The Windup
4. As Summer Into Autumn Slips
5. Teo (T. Monk)
6. In The Crease
7. Encore: St. James Infirmary
This is an official production of the festival and both video and audio are first rate. Enjoy.
