Soundtrack

Has anyone seen a soundtrack to this series yet? I have the music from other Ken Burns series, and they are wonderful, but so far nothing from this is available, at least as far as I can find.

I know that it was done by either Wynton or Branford Marsalis (Not sure which one). I'm pretty sure that since PBS is always in need of financing, PBS will probably be offering it as a way to earn money.

So all original? Nothing archival?

Edited to add:
This has been solved on the I Need to Know board by katerbug72:

I used Soundhound on it and it found Gaye's Steps by Larry Unger. It's on an album called Waltz Time, Vol II. You can buy it on iTunes for 99 cents (the whole album for 9.99).

Original post:

The soundtrack is not for sale anyplace that I can find.

I recognize a lot of the music from the era, such as Saint Louis Blues and Sidewalks of New York, for example. But, some of the music was composed for the series by Wynton Marsalis according to the PBS website:

I'm trying to ID one of the piano pieces. What is the piano music in this video clip from the PBS website:

I want to buy an mp3 if it is available.

Thank you!

Thanks everyone, I was more interested in the archival stuff, not the new. I did find a cd entitled "Speakeasy" available at Starbucks that is all old stuff. Also the Boardwalk Empire soundtrack is all old songs , some of them recorded by contemporary artists, I think. Hopefully the soundtrack will show up eventually at PBS. :)

Does anybody know the name, artist, and/or availability of the song that was playing during the "Menu" choices on the DVD? Thank you.
