The Jazz Ensemble of Memphis' 'Playing in the Yard' has made me one happy Jazz-camper this day! I'm feeling extra blessed to note the high level of creativity in the writing/arrangement, and of course the improvisation. This is such a welcome discovery because mediocrity creeps in unannounced far too often in these endeavors. We forget that Monk & his cronies (Dizzy, Parker, et al) were also in their teens and early twenties when they innovated an exalted art form that remains at the center and top of all popular music. Globally. These kids are bringing that excellence to fore with that unmistakable Memphis seasoning which sets them apart.

This record began as a conversation between Memphis International Records owner, Jeff Phillips, his father Johnny and producer David Less about the 1959 album, Downhome Reunion: Young Men From Memphis. Recorded in New York, it featured Memphis Jazz legends George Coleman, Booker Little, Phineas Newborn, Jr. Calvin Newborn, Frank Strozier, Jamal Nasser and others before they were famous. The Phillips' asked Less to produce a new version, recorded in Memphis, of some of the top young jazz musicians that, like on the original record, were at the beginning of their careers but showed promise of future greatness. The Jazz Ensemble of Memphis was not a working group and some met for the first time at these sessions. Their ages range from 17-26. 'Playing The Yard' is that album. This album is dedicated to all of those great Memphis Jazz musicians that came before us. We stand on your shoulders.
