Grammy Award winning jazz musician WYNTON MARSALIS. He's been playing the trumpet since he was six, and won his first Grammy at 20. His albums include "The Majesty of the Blues," "Thick in the South," and "Citi Movement," with the Wynton Marsalis Septet. MARSALIS is also the cofounder and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. He recently announced that he is breaking up the Septet so he can spend more time with the Lincoln Center. "Sweet Swing Blues on the Road" (W.W. Norton & Company), is his new book, written in collaboration with photographer Frank Stewart. The book, in MARSALIS's words, "tries to document as my fellow musicians and I have lived it."
