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.
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.
