Although the Spike Lee film Mo' Better Blues had a somewhat absurd ending, its depiction of the jazz life had its accurate moments and the music was generally quite rewarding. A few of the selections on this soundtrack CD are throwaways or filler but there is also some fine playing by a modern hard bop quintet consisting of trumpeter Terence Blanchard, Branford Marsalis on tenor and soprano, pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Robert Hurst and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts. It's sure to be a collector's item someday. [Sbme Special Mkts released a bonus track edition in 2008.] ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
