Wynton MarsalisAbout
After the slave ship from “Move Over” and “You Don’t Hear No Drums,” “The Market Place” introduces a new setting, the slave markets.
The spoken word introduction describes the slave markets as a corrupting force in American democracy, leading into the devaluation of black souls in “Soul for Sale”
The Market Place Lyrics
[MEN, spoken]
In teeming marketplaces, onto the sweet soil of our democracy, is poured the salt of a business that gives a bitter taste to our national life.
[Instrumental]
