Reviews3 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "...Marsalis' most grandiose work to date....it succeeds mainly as a showcase for Marsalis' masterly arranging skills....richly sonorous, carefully nuanced, finely detailed orchestral textures that hold the listeners attention...", "...Nothing Short of Remarkable....Blood on the Fields Stands Among the Great Achievements in Jazz.", "...BLOOD ON THE FIELDS is indeed a massive work, one that combines numerous elements of the black musical experience in America, including three or four shades of the blues, chants, field hollers, spiritual forms and...New Orleans and Caribbean rhythmic traditions...", "...an achievement of breathtaking scope and ambition....the piece is a triumph of design and performance over originality and real emotive force....It's all too literally about hope and resilience..." - Rating: B
