Like brother Wynton, Marsalis’ reach extends far beyond the loosely constructed bounds of jazz, casting him as a transcendent musical personality.

And concerning preciseness….. let me say, of course with due respect,that good cooking takes time…..and when needed…I prefer some well cooked appetizers, as a preface of things to come, than a whole bunch of fast food.
Well, just my opinion.
