'He And She' is yet another solid effort by Wynton Marsalis. The band is energenic and plays at a level beyond their years. Each piece is unique in its style and linked together by pieces of a poem that explores the relationship between 'He and She.'

Punctuated throughout with Wynton's own poetry, the songs have the simple titles of "Sassy", "First Kiss", "Girls" etc leaving the music to fill in the picture. Musically, it's all very beautifully crafted and performed with confidence and skill.

The album ends with the title track, Marsalis finally concluding "A man and a woman is a dangerous thing, a train, a banjo and a chicken wing". Marsalis's weak point is his preacher's instinct, so there's plenty of spoken material along the lines of "red, red moon, big, big sky, the road, only the road", to represent the supposedly universal underpinnings of male-female courtship.
