"In this book I hope to reach a new audience with the
positive message of America’s greatest music, to show how
great musicians demonstrate on the bandstand a mutual
respect and trust that can alter your outlook on the world
and enrich every aspect of your life–from individual
creativity and personal relationships to conducting
business and understanding what it means to be American in
the most modern sense."
--Wynton Marsalis In this beautiful book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning musician
and composer Wynton Marsalis explores jazz and how an
understanding of it can lead to deeper, more original ways
of being, living, and relating–for individuals,
communities, and nations. Marsalis shows us how to listen
to jazz, and through stories about his life and the lessons
he has learned from other music greats, he reveals how the
central ideas in jazz can influence the way people think
and even how they behave with others, changing self,
family, and community for the better. At the heart of jazz
is the expression of personality and individuality, coupled
with an ability to listen to and improvise with others.
Jazz as an art--and as a way to move people and nations to
higher ground--is at the core of this unique, illuminating,
and inspiring book, a master class on jazz and life by a
brilliant American artist.
