Description
This box set is the definitive document of Wynton Marsalis' classic recordings
- Each album features rare bonus tracks, including numerous alternate versions and unreleased tracks.
- 10 great albums on 11 CDs!
- Each album is packaged in a replica mini-LP-style sleeve reproducing that album's original cover art.
Hand-picked by Marsalis himself, the sheer amount of incredible music found here, garnered from a brief period of time -- a massive effort for practically any other artist of that period -- was but a mere drop in the bucket for the prolific and endlessly creative Marsalis. The beauty of these middle period recordings is that they capture a brilliant artist at an aesthetic peak while also pointing the way for other achievements that would follow. If Marsalis has indeed kept swingin’ into the 21st, these ten gems give notice that he had prepared himself to the hilt.
Albums included:
A Fiddler's Tale
Standard Time, Vol. 4: Marsalis Plays Monk
At The Octoroon Balls
Big Train
Sweet Release & Ghost Story
Standard Time, Vol. 6: Mr. Jelly Lord
Reeltime
Selections from The Village Vanguard Box
The Marciac Suite
All Rise (2 CD set)
