Branford Marsalis - Interview - 1990 

I wish the Bob Costas show was still going because its amazing just how intellectual these conversations are. You don't get interview shows like that anymore.

Great interview, man what an educated, intelligent, articulate, well mannered guy #BranfordMarsalis

Great interview. And Branford is great live.

Talked to Branford the other night after a show. His candor has always amused me.

I can't believe that something this interesting was ever on network TV.

Great interview Branford Marsalis!!!!!!!!

Branford, the coolest guy ever I´m a fan. ❤

I love this brother.. Bobs cool too.

Great interview. Love Branford.

Great interview

What a fascinating individual.

Would love to have a beer with this guy.

For such a young guy in 1990, Branford Marsalis sure has a sutble and perceptive view of the world. I got to check and see what he's written about other than music.

Excelent interwiev. What he says about loneliness is striking,

brilliant!

If you're a musician who studies music as a history and a performer...this is as good as it gets...

I like that Branford will agree and he will not agree, he isn't concerned about just agreeing. And he can have an intellectual conversation and speak as if he already knew what he was going to say, and it is informed. He even knew about Birth of a nation.

Truth!

plz come to south Africa Durban your music is so good

I hope that Branford fired his tailor after this interview.

the guy looks and sounds a lot like Mos Def

genius

Branford is great and this is an excellent interview. I disagree about all of the music of the 50's being light and fluffy. "Memphis" by Chuck Berry tackles some pretty serious subject matter for the time. The erosion of the family as an institution is about as serious as it gets.

MUSIC, BETTA MUSIC ON MY PAGE

were suits just bigger back then?

Branford is awesome - his over-sized suit doesn't help the fact that he looks like a 14-year-old though!
