Fi-Fi Goes to Heaven

Fi-Fi Goes to Heaven is an album by American pianist Joanne Brackeen recorded in 1986 and released on the Concord Jazz label.

[1] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "this very well-rounded outing finds the adventurous pianist Joanne Brackeen splitting the program between four originals and three veteran tunes (including "Stardust").

In addition to bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Al Foster, the CD is quite special, for it matches Brackeen with trumpeter Terence Blanchard and Branford Marsalis (whom she insisted play mostly on his earlier specialty, alto).

The young lions work well with Brackeen and her rhythm mates on this consistently stimulating and occasionally playful set.

The set is also distinguished by Branford Marsalis' appearance on alto, his first instrument but one that has played next to no part in his career.
