Jazz Party, Marsalis' seventh album as a leader, delivers an original composition-heavy set of music that showcases the same exuberant energy of those shows, complete with modernized twists on New Orleans songbook gems and musical traditions, and swinging, groove-infused homages to the contributions of modern jazz masters.

Released during the Mardi Gras season, Jazz Party opens with a laidback and languorous title track that brings The Voice alum Tonya Boyd-Cannon's gospel roots in touch with the band's preternatural sense of groove.
