Tracks: Stardust Lazy Afternoon For All We Know When You Wish Upon A Star Django Melancholia Hot House Flowers I'm Confessin' (That I Love You) About The Record: Hot House Flowers, by Wynton Marsalis, peaked at No. 90 on the Billboard 200, No. 53 on Billboard's R B Albums chart, and No. 1 on the Top Jazz Albums chart. According to a reviewer on allmusic.com, "Wynton Marsalis, very much in his Miles Davis period, plays quite melodically throughout this ballad-dominated outing with strings. Branford Marsalis (on tenor and soprano), flutist Kent Jordan, pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Jeff Watts are strong assets but it is Wynton's subtle creativity on such songs as Stardust, When You Wish Upon a Star, Duke Ellington's Melancholia, and I'm Confessin' that makes this recording special. The arrangements by Robert Freedman generally keep the strings from sounding too sticky and Wynton's tone is consistently beautiful."
