collaboratively on this live album that truly captures a moment in
time.

Diehl, Alfredo Rodr guez (piano), Kevin Eubanks (guitar), Tia
Fuller (alto saxophone), Diego Rivera (tenor saxophone), Sean Jones
(trumpet), C cile McLorin Salvant (vocals), Evan Perri (guitar),

One of today's finest trumpeters, Sean Jones has only recently
stepped down as Lead Trumpeter of Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra. For his sixth solo outing Jones has surrounded
himself with some of the very finest musicians you may have never
heard of, with front line partner alto saxophonist Brian Hogans who
gives a stellar performance.
As has become evident over the course of his five previous
albums, trumpeter Sean Jones is particularly adept at plumbing
complex emotional depths through his trumpet playing and composing.
So when he set his mind to recording a set of love songs, it should
come as no surprise that he delved into the evocative nuances of
love rather than the more obvious boys-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl
generalities. "I didn't want to do your typical love songs record
that just deals with one aspect of love", Jones explains. "I wanted
to do an album that really dealt with a few different shades of
love."
Sean recently stepped down from his position as Lead Trumpeter
of Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a position
that Jones held for over half a decade. Additionally, he has formed
a new partnership with Marcus Miller, joining the bassist this past
summer for a European tour.
