"Hot House Flowers" was released in 1984 on Columbia Records and is yet another fine release by Marsalis. To anyone who hasn't heard this exceptional trumpeter, please do so, because you're missing some great music.Marsalis is joined by an orchestra on a majority on the album. This was his first with album with a jazz orchestra and it remains one of his best yet. He is also joined by Branford Marsalis (tenor and soprano saxophone), Jeff Watts (drums), Ron Carter (bass), Kenny Kirkland (piano).The music is just one gorgeous song after another and anyone into jazz with an orchestra should really check this one out!Highly recommended.
