Jon Hendricks and The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra - Soul for Sale

The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, led by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, play the tune "Soul for Sale", featuring Jon Hendricks on vocals. The selection is part of Wynton's Pulitzer-winning jazz epic about slavery, "Blood on the Fields". Broadcast in the summer of 1997 on a fantastic but short-lived PBS show called "Sessions at West 54th". Some of the episodes of the show are available on DVD but unfortunately not this one.

This is a masterpiece. I hope they release a dvd of the whole concert for blood on the fields with Cassandra, Jon, and the whole legendary crew

The first time I heard this song was 20 years ago, sung by Wynton, himself, in my 3rd grade music listening class. That was also the last time I heard this. Thank you.
