		But on the night that his sextet premiered Marciac Suite, they were almost blown away themselves--along with the immense circus tent that housed the concert and some 5,000 jazz fans.
		Halfway through Wynton's 13-part composition, Jazz in Marciac Producer Jean-Louis Guillhaumon rushed onto the stage and announced that a powerful gale was headed directly for the town.
		Guy Lafitte, the honorary president of Jazz in Marciac, stood beaming at the side of the stage during that performance.

		The project is a special one for the trumpeter-bandleader-composer who is heralded in Marciac as its adopted son (recently the authorities of the Gascony region, land of the legendary Three Musketeers, even bestowed upon Marsalis the prestigious honorary title of Musketeer).
		On The Marciac Suite, Marsalis also sings the praises of the region's brandy on "Armagnac Dreams" and whimsically takes note of the province's culinary love of duck on "Loose Duck," a tale of one feathered friend that escaped the ax long enough to stroll through the Marciac town plaza.
		Perhaps, given Marsalis' radiant work of art, The Marciac Suite, and the great respect the townspeople and festival-goers have for him, Lafitte's baton will be passed on to the trumpeter.

		A sense of dual culture shock was the dominant first impression for this newcomer at the 28th Annual Jazz In Marciac Festival, a two-week event featuring a large roster of top-name acts descending on a remote village of only 1,200 people.

		Marciac, located amidst rolling hills in farming country about a two-hour drive from the airport in Toulouse, is a town dating back to 1298 that possess a sophisticated ruggedness.

	Wynton Marsalis : The Marciac Suite - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The eighth installment in Marsalis' exhaustive series of 1999 releases, this disc was originally offered as a freebie in the mail only if you bought the previous seven, and it didn't appear in the shops on its own until 2000.
		It was a strange marketing scheme, and one that unnecessarily muted the fanfare for the most artistically successful of Marsalis' original works in his 1999 series.
		Marciac, a small town in France, hosts an internationally renowned jazz festival and even erected a statue of Marsalis, which moved the composer/trumpeter to conceive this 76-minute suite for his favorite septet lineup.

		It ranges from ballads such as Mademoiselle D'Gascony to the carnivalesque and circus-like Marciac Fun, which compose, together with Jean-Louis Is Everywhere and the final Sunflowers, with its underlying basic, simple rhythm, the highlights of the suite.
