Agreed. Wynton Marsalis is an American treasure, critics should take the cotton out of their ears. And he’s done a heck of lot to advance the jazz idiom.
Just awesome.... Man, you always blow us away with that God given wisdom... Also, thank you for your chats during the pandemic. Bringing us together.. The lessons for free!!! Your always teaching and loving brother! All the best, Mike Watkins, Texas
They all just need to get on their knees and thank Daddy Wynton for keeping them fed Sorry but none of these guys have the playing power or star power to have steady solo careers They should all be kissing Wynton’s butt daily
Well I’ll let you in on something: all these people know is music, if you trained all your life as a musician you can’t just quit and go to law school That’s 6 years of school All they know is music
I've spent my life with Classical musicians and part of it with jazz musicians and let me tell you: the latter were funnier, more fun, more creative and more generous.
met wynton after a phenomenal show in baltimore. i’d just started my jazz education that summer and i was telling him about a show i’d had earlier that day and he asked why i didn’t bring my trumpet to his show, i was 14. thank you wynton.
Mr. Marsalis is the real deal. Whether he's blowing a solo or the truth, he always captures my attention. I've learned more about jazz and life from him.
