“What we find in the history of jazz, according to noted author and historian Albert Murray, is that each generation of jazz musician extends, elaborates , and refines different aspects of the blues idiom, and that becomes their innovation and contribution”
–Wynton Marsalis
Wynton Marsalis approaches the art of jazz, both as a performer and a teacher, in the tradition of the great musicians who preceded him. He plays a vital role as the link between the past and the future. His artistry pays homage to the masters who have influenced him.
