    Eight new CDs trumpets Wynton Marsalis' prolificacy

    By Jeff Bradley
    Denver Post Critic-at-Large

    - Wynton Marsalis is already America's best-known jazz musician. But as the millennium approaches, the year-old trumpeter from New Orleans is unleashing a blitz of new work seemingly designed to cement his prominence in the late 20th century.

    Columbia Jazz and Sony Classical are releasing an unprecedented eight Marsalis CDs under a "Swinging into the 21st'' banner, with five already available and three more to come by October.

    Gifted in both jazz and classical music, Marsalis always has been prolific. But even for him, the range is staggering.

After reading it, I understand why. I am looking for music for meat on its bones, and the place to find that is definitely in jazz and blues. Why?
