Amazing, July 3, 2001
This review is from: Jump Start and Jazz: Two Ballets by Wynton Marsalis (Audio CD)
When I first bought this album, I really had no idea what to expect. Was it jazz or was it classical? I knew Wynton did both. Well I suppose it's a mixture of both, but however you wish to classify it, "Jump Start" and "Jazz" are great works of art. And the two ballets are very easy to enjoy, and the booklet comes with detailed information on each ballet, and is written in English, German and French. I have also found that they are very easy for children to enjoy. They love the things that Wynton does with his trumpet....the evil, chuckling troll who appears in "Tick-Tock" and "Trail of Tears" as one example. It becomes a pleading child in "Root Groove" and a laughing man in "March". It really is amazing. Everyone who enjoys instrumental music of any kind, whether it be jazz or classical, really should get this album.
