From Wynton Marsalis, one of the most intriguing and charismatic artists of our time, and award-winning photographer Frank Stewart comes this spellbinding interplay of word and image that captures the smoky intimacy of the late-night club scene and high-voltage excitement of the communion of artist and audience. Wynton Marsalis has won at least nine Grammy Awards, and his Blood on the Fields was the first jazz composition to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music. He is the only musician to win a Grammy Award in jazz and classical during the same year.
