One of the highlights from Marsalis' latest, the VERY satisfying "From The Plantation To The Penitentiary". Haven't heard many jazz musicians get this verbally politically/socially involved in a song in too long a time. Make that many musicians, period (with the exception of Neil Young).
Shades of Eddie Harris...

Somehow the street slang coming out of a guy in a suit and tie seems more than a little disingenuous; and make no mistake about it, Wynton is definitely one of the suits.
