Wynton Marsalis believes that jazz can change all of our lives--artistically, politically, personally, and together as a society.

On Tuesday, September 9, Wynton Marsalis comes to the 92nd Street Y for a “master class" on jazz and life, with NY1's Budd Mishkin. Marsalis discusses jazz as the quintessential American expression of personality and individuality. He reveals what it teaches us about listening to and improvising with others and explains its historical role in bringing people together. Marsalis also talks about why these characteristics make it an essential American tradition and art form that is especially relevant in these times of political divide and cultural decline.

Marsalis has now collected these and other lessons learned from jazz greats in his new book, Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life, due out September 2 from Random House.
