Jazz Man's Journey chronicles the life and career of one of New Orleans's most vivacious and talented musicians. From his childhood in a rural section of New Orleans to his solo appearances with the New Orleans / Louisiana Philharmonic, as well as performances at Carnegie Recital Hall, Newport Jazz Festival and Harvard University, this biography accurately portrays Marsalis not only as a pianist and a Columbia recording artist, but also as a successful teacher, composer, lecturer and father.

This book includes a discography, dozens of photographs from Marsalis's private collection, and a list of Marsalis "profundities."
