Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life

Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life

In this beautiful book, Pulitzer Prizeâ€”winning musician and composer Wynton Marsalis draws upon lessons heâ€™s learned from a lifetime in jazzâ€“lessons that can help us all move to higher ground. With wit and candor he demystifies the music that is the birthright of every American and demonstrates how a real understanding of the central idea of jazzâ€“the unique balance between self-expression and sacrifice for the common good exemplified on the bandstandâ€“can enrich every aspect of our lives, from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the schoolroom to City Hall. Along the way, Marsalis helps us understand the life-changing message of the blues, reveals secrets about playingâ€“and listeningâ€“and passes on wisdom he has gleaned from working with three generations of great musicians. Illuminating and inspiring, Moving to Higher Ground is a master class on jazz and life, conducted by a brilliant American artist.
