Editorial Reviews

World-renowned jazz and classical musician Wynton Marsalis brings his expertise and unique teaching ability to children in this entertaining and educational program. In Marsalis on Music: Sousa to Satchmo, the students of the Tanglewood School, under the direction of maestro Sejii Ozawa, learn how different forms of music influence one another and evolve into totally new styles. Marsalis demonstrates the changes in modern jazz from its roots in John Phillip Sousa's marches to the ragtime of Scott Joplin through Louis Armstrong's improvisational scat. The program is highlighted by Marsalis' magical trumpet interpretations of each style. Absolutely the finest music appreciation and instruction series for children available, this is a must-have for music teachers and school libraries. ~ Heather M.
