Here is Wynton Marsalis’ seminal first recording for Blue Note Records. It is a clear departure for Marsalis, both as an artist and as a composer. The lively, accessible music shows Wynton’s love for the whimsy, the sexy, the sheer fun of life. These eight tunes will provide just as much pleasure for the performer as the listener. This folio, printed on heavy gloss stock, contains note-for-note transcriptions of the songs contained on Wynton’s first Blue Note recording release.
