Comment:

All you jazz cadets out there: your fast-track to the hippest of the hip starts here. Top of the heap is the great Wynton Marsalis, the trumpet sensation who initiated the "young lions" movement in the early '80s as a return to the melodic, acoustic roots of jazz and shook up a recording industry that rushed to sign fresh talent.
