This box set is the definitive document of Wynton Marsalis' classic recordings

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.
