Actually, John, there are many tunes from that Marsalis/Mayfield album that Haley could sing (and probably already has, just not) with Mayfield. I find a certain irony in Ellis Marsalis recording an album with another trumpeter (other than his "oh so famous son" Wynton), but from the brief snippets of each cut, I liked what I heard, and will probably end up adding this to my music collection. Thank you John! (I'm a former trumpet player myself, and I can be fairly persnickety about what I like.)
In his (Mayfield) wiki bio it's mentioned that he turned down a scholarship from Julliard to study under Ellis M.'s jazz program at the U of NO. He and the Marsalis family seemed to very close; Wynton was his roommate in NYC at one point.
