Playlist shuffle: keeping my ear & brain engaged. One minute I'm brought to tears by the virtuoso cornet of Wynton Marsalis weaving the "Grand Russian Fantasia", the next I'm sinking into the ridiculously lush ELO pop soundscape of "Xanadu" and carried by Olivia Newton-John's clarion voice.

Jazztodon artist of the week: the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra! In 1988, the orchestra was formed as an outgrowth of its concert series, Classical Jazz, with David Berger conducting. When Wynton Marsalis became artistic director in 1991, he emphasized the history of jazz, particularly Duke Ellington. The first album was "Portraits by Ellington" (1992), and seven years later the Ellington centennial was honored with the album "Live in Swing City: Swingin' with the Duke" (1999).

Under the leadership of Marsalis, the band performs at its home in Lincoln Center, tours throughout the U.S. and abroad, visits schools, appears on television, and performs with symphony orchestras. The orchestra backed Wynton Marsalis on his album "Blood on the Fields," which won the Pulitzer Prize.[1][2][3]

Since 2015, the orchestra's albums have been issued on its own label, Blue Engine Records.

Wynton Marsalis - Black Codes from the Underground

When this came out in 1985, I remember interviews with Wynton where he dismissed all non-Jazz forms of popular music. He was (and is) one *serious* dude, with incredible talent, which he's proven over and over again.

But back then, being a callow and opinionated youth, I don't think I gave this great album a chance. It's pretty incredible.

I still think he's wrong about everything-but-Jazz, though!

Wynton Marsalis - Black Codes from the Underground LP cover. A black child in a classroom, looking at a blackboard. The lesson is about the 3/5s compromise. Most of the board has been erased, and replaced with "Black Codes from the Underground". On the teacher's desk, a trumpet, bell down on the table. The black LP plays on a Brinkmann Taurus turntable to the left.
