1986 studio album by Wynton Marsalis
J Mood is an album by Wynton Marsalis that won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance, Individual or Group in 1987.[ 4]
In a review for Playboy , Robert Christgau said that Marsalis is "chief among the younger players who eschew expressionistic excess in favor of technical command and respect for history", and that J Mood "isn't as staid as you might think, holding subtle pleasures to spare for those with time to spare".[ 5] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings lists the album as part of its suggested “core collection” of essential recordings.[ 3]
