He and She, Wynton’s fifth Blue Note release is now available in stores.
The new album is centered around that eternally compelling and most elemental of subjects, the relationship between a man and a woman.
It features 22 tracks of Wynton’s signature jazz style as well as spoken word / poetry. It’s an ambitious effort, combining spoken word and music, and Wynton has given his quintet some formidable charts. The album is tempered with flashes of humor and plenty of swing. There’s ease and elegance and more than a little wisdom in these grooves.
Discuss about the new album in this special thread on Wynton’s forum or on his Facebook profile. Continue reading to watch Wynton interviewed by Wall Street Journal about the new album.
