This text portrays a year in the life of Wynton Marsalis, the great modern jazz musician and composer. In turn lyrical and down-to-earth, exalted and profane, the 12 chapters of this book reveal his distinctive views on the "road", romance, creativity, politics, culture, tradition and innovation, and the role of the artist in society. The result is a fascinating self-portrait, filled with insight, laughter and fiery argument, and the next best thing to being there for any fan who has ever dreamed of travelling with the band.
