  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.
