Filmed in Marciac, France, in August 2007, Wynton with the help fo Victor Goines, taught the fundamentals of jazz music to a group of local elementary school students.
Bernstein said that a "Musician" is someone who is: A performer, a composer, a conductor, an educator and an Improvisor. Wynton not only checks all the boxes but is a leader in them, all.
I don't get how anyone can possibly argue Wynton isn't one of the all-time greats. Incredible melodic ideas. Incredible technique. And really seems to be a great teacher.
Keith Jarrett: "Wynton imitates other people's styles too well," he says. "You can't learn to imitate everyone else without a real deficit. I've never heard anything Wynton played sound like it meant anything at all. Wynton has no voice and no presence. His music sounds like a talented high-school trumpet player to me. He plays things really, really,really badly that you cannot screw up unless you are a bad player. I've felt embarrassed listening to him, and I'm white. Behind his humble speech, there is an incredible arrogance. And for a great black player who talks about the blues - I've never heard Wynton play the blues convincingly, and I'd challenge him to a blues standoff any time. He's jazzy the same way someone who drives a BMW is sporty."
Wow, i can't believe that there's actually more to music than what we usually hear. i just started learning to improvise and I've got to admit that I've never had so music fun with my Euphonium. Marsalis, you're my mentor!
Merci Mr Marsalis et merci aussi au sax. ténor Victor Goines. What an excellent lesson ! They are so incredible ! J'aimerais voir le relevé de leurs chorus !!!
Where does he hear so many good ideas. However despite most saying jazz is freedom, but there is a form. He mentioned melody, will try to keep that at the back and try improvisation
risang android 12 bar blues is the name of the chord progression popularized by jazz, which happy birthday isnt, but as far as what the trumpeter was playing, he was running up and down and around different jazz/blues scales. I suggest u start the simple concert b flat blues scale, and work from there.
J Pea Now why would you be spreading false information about a subject you obviously don't know about? Even Marsalis would tell you he didn't know how to improvise at once point, he had to learn it!
Not really an example of that synergy...how they end together is simply knowing the end of the tune and playing the final down beat together. Simple stuff, basically counting. How they converse musically as fluently as we do through speech is what's baffling.
