Description: As Carl Vigeland went on tour with Wynton Marsalis and his septet, he witnessed "their relationships with their audiences, their art, and each other. At the same time, Marsalis takes us into the heart of jazz itself, with intimate meditations on home, family, creation, and performance--written in the cadence of his inimitable voice."--Jacket.
