S.O.D. "Cherokee" by Wynton Marsalis

2/11/2023 This mind blowing trumpeter from New Orleans, active since 1980, has earned just about every existing award for music. This includes a Pulitzer Prize in 1997 at the age of 36 for “Blood on the Fields.” He is also the only musician to win Grammy awards in jazz and classical music in the same year. Actually, he did this two consecutive years.

Marsalis is the current artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, and enjoys promoting classical and jazz music to young audiences. Mostly as being leader, and also sideman and collaborations, he is a part of over 120 works. You simply cannot take your ears off him.
