Wynton Marsalis is not only a great jazz musician but a complete trumpeter who can play classical music with equal brilliance.

A classical piece, Wynton with Kathleen Battle, both in their primes, both with great control of their instrument.

A fusion of jazz and classical...while I like to listen to most Xmas music in its traditional form, I do love this interpretation.

Playing "Moto Perpetuo"

Moto Perpetuo, Carnival of Venice, Flight of the Bumblebee, Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, Tis the Last Rose of Summer are just a few of the great selections of music found on CARNIVAL. I have yet to find someone who does not enjoy most of the selections on that CD.
