This Blue Engine Records release is the first recording of Blues Symphony (Symphony No. 2)<\/em>, an innovative and colossal work from Pulitzer Prize-winning composer which takes the 12-bar blues and explodes it into a lyrical, kaleidoscopic history of American music.<\/span><\/p>\n

The symphony’s seven movements are each infused with different influences\u2014a ragtime stomp here, a habanera rhythm there\u2014and, collectively, they take listeners on a sonic journey through America\u2019s revolutionary era, the early beginnings of jazz in New\u00a0Orleans, and even a big city soundscape that serves as a nod to the Great Migration. \u00a0This 2019 performance, recorded live in Verizon Hall at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, builds upon the legacies of Scott Joplin, James P. Johnson, George Gershwin, and other American masters, demonstrating the genius and breadth of Marsalis’s imagination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe blues helps you remember back before the troubles on hand and in mind,\u201d says Marsalis, \u201cand they carry you on the wings of angels to a timeless higher ground.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
