One of the leading lights of jazz for the past 30 years, Wynton Marsalis greeted the new millennium with a flurry of recordings. This 11-CD set chronicles that stunning burst of productivity by bringing you 10 albums he put out in the years surrounding 2000 (mostly in ’99), most of which were only available for a limited time and all of which have been out of print for years. Each of these appears here with bonus rarities (alternate versions and unreleased tracks): A Fiddler’s Tale, Standard Time Vol. 4: Marsalis Plays Monk, At the Octoroon Balls, Big Train, Sweet Release & Ghost Story, Standard Time Vol. 6: Mr. Jelly Lord, Reeltime, The Marciac Suite, the sprawling jazz oratorio All Rise (2 CDs) and Selections from the Village Vanguard Box. Detailed notes by Wynton and some fine photography of Wynton’s numerous bands join Dead Man Blues; King Porter Stomp; Blue Lights on the Bayou; Brilliant Corners; Evidence; Fiddler’s March; Devil’s Dance; Night Train; Smokestack Shuffle; First Blues; Second Blues; Loose Duck; Save Us; Look Beyond; The Cat in the Hat Is Back; Misterioso; Cherokee; Happy Feet Blues, and more masterful Marsalis music!
