Wynton Marsalis has been described as the most outstanding jazz musician and trumpeter of his generation, as one of the world’s top classical trumpeters, as a big band leader in the tradition of Duke Ellington, a brilliant composer, a devoted advocate for the Arts and a tireless and inspiring educator. He carries these distinctions well. His life is a portrait of discipline, dedication, sacrifice, and creative accomplishment.

The first jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his work Blood on the Fields, an epic oratorio that focuses on the subject of slavery


9 time GRAMMY® Award winner

In 2006, was instrumental in The Higher Ground Hurricane Relief concert produced by Jazz at Lincoln Center and has raised over $3 million for relief efforts
