WYNTON MARSALIS marks 25 years....

This season, WYNTON MARSALIS marks 25 years at the helm of Jazz at Lincoln Center. To celebrate this milestone, Marsalis sat down with ELLIOTT FORREST, the Peabody Award-winning radio host of WQXR and WNYC.

In Wynton Marsalis in Conversation, the two talked about…

… the early days of Jazz at Lincoln Center;
… how the trumpet found Marsalis;

… the very different roles his parents played in his life;

… the history of jazz and music education;

… and in a rare demonstration, Marsalis recreated the playing styles of Clark Terry and Miles Davis, among other trumpeters.

Wynton Marsalis to Release New Album

On March 24, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, trumpeter and bandleader Wynton Marsalis will release his fifth Blue Note recording, He and She – an ambitious new album of 22 tracks that combines spoken word and Wynton’s signature Jazz style.
The album is tempered with flashes of humor and plenty of swing centered around the compelling and most elemental of subjects, the relationship between a man and a woman.
Before heading into the studio, the Wynton Marsalis Quintet traveled to the Iron Horse in North Hampton, MA to perform the new material in front of a live audience. The quintet subsequently cut the tracks live over a two-day period. The minimally edited result became He and She.

Marsalis ended his last Blue Note studio album, From the Plantation to the Penitentiary, with a stunning spoken word piece, though on He and She, Marsalis’s voice is more prominent throughout, prefacing just about every track with his poetic words.
He And She is due out March 24th on Blue Note Records.
