trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, he collaborated with Marsalis on Jazz in the Bittersweet Blues of Life, journaling life on the road, in the recording studio, and in concerts with Marsalis, his ensemble, and road crew in the early 1990s. Library Journal recommended the book, saying "This period saw Marsalis, currently director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, honing his chops at little clubs and composing songs. While not a traditional biography, this book provides a very real, personal glimpse of Marsalis, as both musician and man. Trumpeter and music writer Vigeland, who tagged along with the septet, here allows his coauthor's sense of humor to shine through. The book's film-inspired techniques make for an unpredictable, ever-evolving reading experience, and readers will come away with a feeling for life on the road, stripped of its many false stereotypes." The next year, Vigeland returned to the subject of golf, collaborating with Bob Duval on Letters to a Young Golfer, published by Basic Books as part of their "The Art of Mentoring" series. In 2009, Wiley published Vigeland's Mostly Mozart Guide to Mozart, a concise biography accompanied by insights into Mozart's most important works in a variety of genres. Vigeland’s seventh book is The Breathless Present, published by Levellers Press in 2011. Both an autobiography and a road book, in The Breathless Present Vigeland shares portraits of an unusual grouping of people, ranging from an early mentor and one-time neighbor, the late poet Archibald MacLeish, to jazz great Wynton Marsalis, and the author's charismatic father, also a musician. The work tells several intersecting stories in a variety of voices that mirror music's power to transmute memory and affirm life. Vigeland's latest books are Symmetry, Walking Trane, and Ricochet. Other recent books are Jonathan's Sternberg, a biography of conductor and teacher Jonathan Sternberg, published in 2014, The Great Romance: The Sun Returns, Time Never, published in 2015, A Symphony for Shelbie and Dear President Trump: An Open Letter on Greatness, both published in 2019, and, with Archibald MacLeish, October Calf [2020]. In 2019, Vigeland began publishing books under the imprint, Combray House Books. Bibliography Vigeland, Carl (1986) Great Good Fortune: How Harvard Makes Its Money.
