Marlon understood that his continued growth as a
musician depended on his own musical ground, and not just to play
standards. Following up on his own ideas, he wrote five of the tunes
on his second Columbia release "Learson's Return" |

Following a series of quintet dates immediately
following the album's release in the spring '91 (highlighted by a
run at the Village Vanguard), Marlon joined up with "Jazz Futures" -
George Wein's brilliantly-conceived 'supergroup' of "Young
Lions" - virtually playing every major jazz festival and
outdoor 'shed' on the circuit |

Jordan's selection of collaborators suits both the material and the
trumpeter's intentions perfectly: joining him in the front line,
master clarinetist Alvin Batiste and multi-reed player
Victor Goines on soprano and tenor saxophones; rounding out the
rhythm section, Victor Atkins on piano and David Pulphus
on bass, with drummer Troy Davis driving three tracks and
phenom-to-be Jason Marsalis, youngest of the clan, anchoring
four tracks.
