Omg. I am sitting and watching this. And crying. Just to see and hear the love and attitude to music. Makes me proud to share the love. God bless you !!!
Always a memorable experience to hear him and his band play. His band members are encouraged by Wynton to write music that band will play. His band of musicians are extremely good writers as well as performers.
I still love Wynton's music after all these years. I always go to his concerts when he is in town. It is always a memorable experience to hear him andhis
In my 20s , i admired Miles’ attitude, Hipster,hating on Traditionalist Wynton. Now in my 30s, i’m ok with Miles but love Wynton so much, he brought up the history of what jazz was and has always been a fundamental of jazz. One could say Wynton was Radical traditionalist , but without tradition there is no jazz today. In fact, the void of emotion in modern jazz,not all but lots of it,is because lack of indulging and listening to older generations music. I wish i could smack my 20s self to listen and transcribe more of the likes of Lester Young or Charlie Parker or Buddy Bolden.
The Brandenburg is marathon, you train up to it. Its not something you pull out of the bag and just rattle off. Every trumpet player finds it difficult, from beginning to end, its on the chops, high, delicate, demanding, but its awesome.
Were you there? Think of it this way. Wynton tried to contact Miles, to get together, Miles ignored him, what's wrong with reaching out to the best, wanting to collaborate? Maybe Miles was the arrogant one?
I told Miles to get off the stage once. And then he just proceeded to turn his back to the audience and played his horn between his legs. Real class act that guy was.
