✅ This product is in New/Sealed Condition.

Amazon.com Wynton Marsalis had already shed the strictures of the early influences on his playing, and proven he could write extended conceptual pieces, on his early masterpiece, The Majesty of the Blues, by the time of this 1992 release. Blue Interlude still represented a quantum leap for the fast-evolving composer and trumpeter. Like the jazz master who'd become his greatest inspiration, Duke Ellington, Marsalis was writing with his whole septet in mind at this point, prefiguring the epic effort of Blood on the Fields. The nearly 40-minute long title track ranges from traditional New Orleans jazz through gutbucket blues and Ellingtonia into bop and beyond without ever losing its digressive thread. Reed player Todd Williams also weighs in with a serious compositon, "The Jubilee Suite." --John Swenson Product description In original long Cd box, definitely a collectors item.
