| Wynton Learson Marsalis (b.Anthony, has been published as To a Young Jazz Musician.As of 2006, he has made sixteen classical and more than thirty jazz recordings, has been awarded nine Grammys between the genres, and has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music, the first time it has been awarded for a jazz recording.Through an exhaustive series of performances, lectures, and music workshops, Marsalis rekindled widespread interest in an art form that had been largely abandoned and redefined out of what he saw as its artistic substance.Marsalis's workshops and members of his formations: James Carter, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Harry Connick Jr.The dance community quickly embraced his works, and he received commissions to create major compositions for Garth Fagan Dance, Peter Martins at the New York City Ballet, Twyla Tharp for the American Ballet Theatre, and for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.Marsalis's first string quartet, performed by the Orion Quartet.The work was commissioned by Lincoln Center, and its premiere by the Orion Quartet in 1995 was presented in conjunction with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.At the Octoroon Balls: String Quartet No.Reeltime is Marsalis's score for the acclaimed John Singleton film Rosewood.Sweet Release and Ghost Story offers another world premiere recording of two original ballet scores by Marsalis, written for and premiered by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and the Zhong Mei Dance Company, both in New York City.Mouret: Rondeau, a video of which has been adopted as the new theme for PBS Masterpiece Theatre.Controversy
Marsalis's strongly held views regarding the roots of jazz and its development have generated some negative appraisals from jazz critics and fellow musicians.This debate, not to mention his instrumental proficiency and compositional ambition, has made him one of the most prominent and controversial jazz musicians of the 1980s and 1990s.Pianist Keith Jarrett is also an outspoken critic of Marsalis.I've felt embarrassed listening to him, and I'm white.I've never heard Wynton play the blues convincingly, and I'd challenge him to a blues standoff any time.He's jazzy the same way someone who drives a BMW is sporty."Ken Burns Jazz
Marsalis has also been criticized for his role in the Ken Burns documentary Jazz, which promoted a classicist view of jazz similar to the views of Marsalis himself.It is not just aesthetically grating.Marsalis organized a large benefit at Jazz at Lincoln Center for musicians and other New Orleaneans affected by Hurrican Katrina.He has received several honorary doctoral degrees, and a variety of other recognitions from Brandeis University, Brown University, Columbia University, Denison University, Haverford College, Johns Hopkins University, the Manhattan School of Music, Princeton University, the University of Miami, Southern Methodist University(SMU) and Yale University.Mood
