For the younger guys and girls on this forum get this album. Mr Marsalis's playing is par excellence and showcases a great tradition of American cornet players. The older guys and girls should of course have it!!

Wynton is awesome, and I'm pretty sure all his stuff is unedited, b/c I can hear some stuff on that Carnival CD that I'm sure he would rather have changed for the recording. He can circular breath and I'm sure he did on this song, esp as this is the one where it would be best shown off. That CD isn't exactly about culture: it's more about showing off what a (real) trumpet player (cornet; whatever ) can do.
