What an experience!!! I finally got this CD yesterday. I'm speechless. I couldn't stop listening to it. The "Funeral Dirge" (Track 12) brought tears to my eyes. I'll buy at least a dozen copies for friends. June 11, 2008

Terence Blanchard was born in New Orleans. You can hear it in his tone when he plays. All the influences of the former sons (Louis Armstrong, King Oliver) as well as all the Big Easy's rich cultures and heritage can be heard whenever his lips hit metal. "A Tale of God's Will" is not just another of TB's jazz albums but his own soundtrack to the horror that was Hurricane Katrina. He creates the calm before the storm, the tension, hurricane and the aftermath from one song to the next. You can almost hear the pleading and the supplications of the testimonials of Spike Lee's documentary "When the Levees Broke" (also scored by Blanchard and also featuring interviews from him). Definitely to be heard as a whole concept album but every piece no matter how essential to the next, is a voice unto itself. If you 're a fan, this is a must-have. May 3, 2008

This CD speaks to the tragedy we know of as "Katrina". The music is beautiful and poignant and reminds us how far we have yet to go in this rich but most imperfect country. February 19, 2008

It is beautiful, sad, haunting and ultimately hopeful. Just an exceptional piece of music. February 12, 2008
