Down Beat (p.69) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The work here is settled and comfortable....'Blue' carries subliminal hints of the final bars of 'Lush Life.'....'Fleur De Lis' has a clever line..."JazzTimes (p.105) - "Payton turns in a strongly evocative performance on a rendition of Jerry Goldsmith's atmospheric 'Chinatown'....INTO THE BLUE may be Payton's most satisfying outing to date."72.86787

Down Beat (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "They're out of the gate at full speed on 'Moment's Notice,' with tight execution while leaving room for burning solos by trombonist Isaac Smith and trumpeter Nicholas Payton."0.7902341

Down Beat (11/00, pp.74-5) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...One of the busiest woodwind sidemen on the scene....The tracks that work best are those with trumpeter Nicholas Payton; they also happen to be those where the leader plays alto sax..."JazzTimes (10/00, p.97) - "...A fine work that indicates a Wilson masterpiece is forthcoming."0.6585284

Down Beat (p.58) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Working with a core group of five players, two of them saxophonists, trumpeter Sean Jones flexes more than sufficient muscle to conjure the illusion of a big band on this compact package of mainstream modernism."JazzTimes (p.92) - "An excellent and highly appealing outing that should garner Jones the same kind of attention that has been paid to his trumpet colleagues Nicholas Payton and Jeremy Pelt."Record Collector (magazine) (p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] scintillating straightahead set...There are stylistic echoes of horn legends Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard..."0.5268227

Down Beat (p.80) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Shake'n'Blake,' the opener, sets the tone, with fat and splashy textures, punchy brass, a burly baritone saxophone/bass line and smokin' solos by tenor saxophonist Ron Blake, trumpeter Nicholas Payton and trombonist Michael Dease."JazzTimes (p.51) - "'Broadway' is all sweet swing, with a loose and likable McBride solo, while the slow-moving 'When I Fall in Love' and 'The More I See You' both benefit from singer Melissa Walker's beautifully paced reading of the vintage lyrics."0.5268227

Dirty Linen (p.59) - "Traditional jazz is what's flowing here with the majority of modern-day selections stemming from Ruffins and his contemporaries, who keep the flame burning when it's practically charred ashes in a Yankee land."0.3813847

Uncut (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 - "This is a banquet of bluesiana; a lifetime of sounds. If you love New Orleans music, he'll take you there. Magnificent."JazzTimes (p.85) - "Remarkably, the pied piper of Crescent City boosterism sound younger and more fully alive on this 18-track collection than he did some three-and-a-half decades ago..."Dirty Linen (p.60) - "N'AWLINZ closes with 'I'm Going Home'....Its tragic beauty makes for a powerful closer..."Living Blues (p.46) - "N'AWLINZ is an unabashed tribute to Rebennack's New Orleans roots, but tackles a much wider range of the city's sounds....There's plenty to enjoy and much to recommend."Mojo (Publisher) (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[This] finds the Doctor firing on all cylinders with a rarified tenderness that adds up to his best album in years."0.2860385
