Music

A reviewer at commented '' Down Beat'' that "Using the vernacular of Langston Hughes, but writing in a formal, Olympian style inspired by Irish national poet William Butler Yeats, Marsalis alternates between words and music, reciting a stanza then dramatizing its theme with his quintet. At the end, he strings all the stanzas together, declaiming his long poem about the trials of love in a satisfying finale."de Barros, Paul (June 2009) "Wynton Marsalis – He and She". ''Down Beat''. p. 57.
