Wynton Marsalis’ new album He and She (Blue Note), can be heard in its entirety on Monday at iLike. iLike’s 24-hour world exclusive will culminate with the retail release of He And She on March 24.

Marsalis fans will have an opportunity to post questions and comments about the album on his iLike Artist Page (iLike.com/WyntonMarsalis) and Marsalis will personally respond to a select group of fans. A few lucky fans who submit a question will receive a special gift.
