Detroit Symphony Orchestra presents Wynton Marsalis’ ‘Blues Symphony’
Update: 2025-05-14
Description
“All of my pieces are long,” says trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis. “And you got to imagine that’s what made it much worse when it sounded so bad. It was a lot of it. So, it was like, ‘Damn, this is terrible, and there’s a lot of this to go.’”
That’s Marsalis’ honest assessment of what his Blues Symphony sounded like in its early stages. After several revisions, he’s thrilled with the outcome on a new recording featuring Music Director Jader Bignamini and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
