It always puzzles me that the Haydn is (was?) always part of Grade 8 for Bb trumpet and ARCM exam, yet it was written for, and played on an Eb by all the soloists! In other words, pro trumpet soloists have an easier time than students!

One thing we should remember is that Wynton is classically trained. Have any of you heard him perform Trumpet Concertos with Orchestra? In 1987, he didn't have too many albums to his name. He had just finished recording his Standard Time Vol. 1. Wynton has come A LOONG WAY since that album. I feel he has found his own voice and he has so many great albums to his credit including Live. Wynton is a pure jazz musician through and through.

Miles wasn't the only musician to say this about Wynton Marsalis. When I think of great virtuoso trumpeters (Woody Shaw, Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard and others who came later) they knew the history but were also interested in moving forward. Marsalis is almost like a classical musician playing jazz in the way it's "supposed to be played". One of the things I love about jazz is it is values individual expression and innovation. I don't really hesr that from Marsalis, in any environment, even playing Ornette 's material or playing with Clapton. Great technician, though; but while I admire his slickness, I don't find his music that interesting to me. (I grew up with a lot of 60s and 70s free jazz.)

Wynton since then has been able to play any style he wants, haha. I have heard him play three times and he is without a doubt the greatest trumpet player i've ever heard in person by a long shot. I never heard any of the old heads back in miles' day, so i'm sure i would be saying differently if i had. That being said, I would still put Wynton in my personal top 5 favorite trumpet players of all time still. Call it bias, but you can't deny how talented Wynton is and how good of a music educator he also is.

Miles was being nice here. 😅 I’ve always said that the Miles/Wynton juxtaposition was backwards: the old head was trying to move forward and innovate, while the young buck was stuck in the past. Yes, Wynton is a master trumpet player; possibly the most technically gifted jazz trumpet player ever. But it means more to me if you can play AND you changed music forever.
@maxou6402Ай бұрын
Wynton Marsalis = the Wiener Philarmoniker coming back on stage every single year for the New Year Concert and stating "listen, guys, you may all play waltz, galop, polka, and so on the way you want, drunk at Oktoberfest or clean, sober and well-dressed at Carnegie Hall, but WE set the standard you comply with or deviate from". You need Mason Bates and Peter Eötvös to bring change, but you also need people who reminds you of what the standard is.
@jamesratner7889Ай бұрын
This is accurate. But not everyone can be an innovator, or has a compelling unique voice in music, like Miles Davis. The same is true with Coltrane. Which tenor sax player sounds better than Coltrane, no matter how many transcriptions they have done.

Wynton Marsalis is so reminiscent of Neil deGrasse Tyson in that smug pomposity and ultimate mediocrity of such self-proclaimed guardians. The so-called 'classical' music scene is a necrophile orgy of technique fetishism, empty virtuosity and disciplinary obsession substituting for art that, frankly, at this point it only appeals to hard working first generation immigrant children -- just one step above a spelling bee. Jazz is, correctly speaking, the classical music of black America, and Wynton is doing his very best to kill it just as dead with his conservatism as European 'classical' music is dead and buried in the banal elitism of difficulty for the sake of difficulty and superiority for the sake of superiority.

Love them both but they are polar opposites. Wynton is carrying the torch for a style of music that is being pushed out by dj, rappers and techno ponces. Where has the melody, class and musicianship gone. You don't Even have to play an instrument to call yourself a musician these days. Love Wyntons candor when he is tapping his toes while he is listening to other play. Listening to other is a lost art these days.
