Two Men With The Blues

by: Willie Nelson/Wynton Marsalis

Release Date July 08, 2008
An absolutely wonderful product and combination of two superb talents but unfortunately, Willie's voice is apparantly gone. I have an old vinyl of Willie doing "Stardust" many years ago and the comparison is saddening.
I wish these two had done this before all Willie could do is talk the song because his timing and touch has not withered.

Wynton Marsalis - Baroque Music for Trumpet

from: Sony

Release Date October 25, 1990
I first encountered this on cassette, quite by accident. It later became the background for my work at morning at the easel painting watercolours. But this is no wallpaper music. The technical genius of matching separate recordings of different trumpet parts is surpassed only by Marsalis's bright and lively technique. The masters would be pleased. As for the watercolours, I can now stand before them and see the music's influence on paper. Well worth the listening...

Marsalis Standard Time ~ Vol.1

by: Wynton Marsalis

Release Date October 25, 1990
"The wonder of this recording, however, is that we hear such informed boldness from the leader and his players. Only extremely sophisticated musicians could make such complex arrangements swing so authoritatively (e.g., "The Song Is You"), then play with the time so effectively, creating and resolving tensions with an often stunning capacity for grace. The protean accuracy of the adjustments to one another and to the forms of the tunes makes it rather obvious that this is one of the best jazz groups now working. Yes, Marsalis has found himself some extremely talented players." ~ Stanley Crouch ~

Stanley Crouch has perfectly described what makes this album one of the best in jazz recordings. Wynton Marsalis is one of the gifted trumpet ... Read More:

Classic Wynton

from: Sony

Release Date November 10, 1998
It's easy to think that the culture is in decline (mostly because it is), but Wynton is proof that we are not done for yet. He is the real thing, whether you like classical or jazz or whatever. He is a master. I love this recording of some very familiar pieces, recorded here by a real virtuoso. Just as we were getting used to mediocrity, Wynton comes along and reminds us all that perfection is worth pursuing despite our teachers' insistence that we can feel good about ourselves no matter what we do. Here is the personification of artistry and the claim that greatness is worth pursuing and is achievable.

Kathleen Battle · Wynton Marsalis ~ Baroque Duet / Anthony Newman · Orch St. Luke's · Nelson

by: George Frideric Handel, Alessandro Scarlatti, Luca Antonio Predieri, Alessandro Stradella, Johann Sebastian Bach, John Nelson, Kathleen Battle, Wynton Marsalis, Orchestra of St. Lukes, Anthony Newman, John T. Kulowitsch, Krista Bennion Feeney, Eriko Sato, Marc Goldberg

Release Date April 21, 1992
I had heard of this album in 1992, and since then I had not found it available in Brazil. Fortunatelly, I've got it through Amazon now. Despite of the fact that it is not played in the strict baroque style, Battle/Marsalis are great, brilliant, and they turn the difficult duets into delightfull virtuosism. The duets were very well selected, and some I did not know until now, which are also wonderful. This is the kind of CD anyone would enjoy, and I do recommend it.

Standard Time, Vol.5: The Midnight Blues

by: Wynton Marsalis

Release Date April 28, 1998
this is a good cd,but it's a little to quiet for my taste.there are great standards on here,that wynton marsalis plays very well,but i am a little turned off by the syrupy string arrangements on here.this is one of those cd's you can listen to in those quiet times,when your lying in bed,before going to sleep,or,on a rainy day.although there are some fine things on this cd,it's a little to slow,and a little bland for my taste.but still a good cd,nonetheless.
