Synopsis
Wynton Marsalis, the artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, musician, educator, and composer, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and received his first trumpet from renowned musician Al Hirt at the age of six. Marsalis has won nine Grammy Awards, in both jazz and classical categories, and is the only artist to have won Grammy Awards in five consecutive years, from 1983 to 1987. In 1997, Marsalis’s oratorio on slavery and freedom, Blood on the Fields , became the first and, to date, only jazz composition to win the Pulitzer Prize in music. Geoffrey C. Ward, a historian, screenwriter, and former editor of American Heritage , is the bestselling author of many books, including The War: An Intimate History , 1941-1945 , Jazz: A History of America’s Music , and A First-Class Temperament: The Emergence of Franklin Roosevelt, which won a National Critics Circle Award. From the Hardcover edition.
