In this beautiful book, Pulitzer Prize--winning musician and
composer Wynton Marsalis draws upon lessons he's learned from a
lifetime in jazz-lessons that can help us all move to higher
ground. With wit and candor he demystifies the music that is the
birthright of every American and demonstrates how a real
understanding of the central idea of jazz-the unique balance
between self-expression and sacrifice for the common good
exemplified on the bandstand-can enrich every aspect of our lives,
from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the schoolroom to City
Hall. Along the way, Marsalis helps us understand the life-changing
message of the blues, reveals secrets about playing-and
listening-and passes on wisdom he has gleaned from working with
three generations of great musicians. Illuminating and inspiring,
Moving to Higher Ground is a master class on jazz and life,
conducted by a brilliant American artist.
