Book Description:
Wynton Marsalis's captivating text and Frank Stewart's stunning photographs give readers a year in the life of today's premier jazz musician and composer. Marsalis's account of his world of grueling travel, performances, and backstage encounters includes views on rap, the road, romance, creativity, politics, culture, and the role of the artist in American society. By turns lyrical, down to earth, exalted, and profane, the book itself is structured like the "sweet swing blues" of the title. 180 photos.
