Wynton Marsalis Skain's Domain a Biography

"Leslie Gourse's industrious, briskly written biography offers a charitable but clear-eyed history of the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis as man, musician and opinionated, sometimes willfully abrasive evangelist of classic jazz....Gourse explores his curious dismissal of fusion and avant-garde music....She also depicts the private Marsalis--the father of three sons, the dutiful son, the loving sibling to an autistic brother-- with narrative portraits that soften Marsalis's dogmatic image.Gourse, Leslie is the author of 'Wynton Marsalis Skain's Domain a Biography', published 1999 under ISBN 9780825672477 and ISBN 0825672473.
