Regardless of whether or not your father was passionate, he still was a musician and that was influence.

Wynton and Branford are so blessed to have the influence of their father. Now they're two of my favorites.

This man is such a marvelous inspiration!

You know, somehow I thought Wynton Marsalis was this very quiet person. I’ve never heard him interviewed before. This interview was absolutely inspirational. Maybe because I recently lost a loved one and I am very raw about what life is all about. He talks about some hard things and he talks from the heart. I had just watched him playing some very complicated classical music. I’ve been familiar with his jazz playing. Really an exceptional individual who talks honestly about the effort that it takes to really play,and the love that it takes. Gotta love this man and my hat is off to him. Wonderful representative of humanity! He’s probably too busy to be president, too bad.

Doing the 1890s there was a British soldier named the Duke of Wellington. And his friends called him Duke of Ellington and that's how he got the name it's all these other things are lies. Unlike Winton I am not a professional trumpet player but I have been playing for over fifty years and I've always studied the old music as he called it. I am a pops lover.

I’ve been teaching music for 50 years. It’s an entirely different culture and genre from jazz music. But everything I hear Wynton Marsalis says is always so deeply inspiring and deeply true. Thank you, Mr. Marsalis. We are all in your debt.

This guy is a very cool dude, I admire him a lot. On a side note, I think I would find it very intimidating to have Winton humming soulfully without breaking eye contact for an extended period of time. I feel like I would buckle under his profound sincerity.

Thank You Wynton!

I enjoyed the interview and was a pleasure to know more about Wynton. Congrats and greetings from Mexico

The beeping out of all the cusswords takes me out of the interview completely. WTF this hysterical censoring?

25:25 isn’t that a bit insulting to the bands who participated in the Essentially Ellington? And, in particular, the winning bands..?

Yep. Democrats are full of hate!

Thank you.

Amazing 🥲 it touch my heart

Getting full with the boys

The value is internal--so profound--so true--you can sound like a million bucks- playing to an audience of two people-- or Stadium of 20000--music really just comes from deep inside the human spirit-- with influence from on high-- just my humble opinion--

Great interview!

It will NOT YIELD good fruit AMEN

The strange workshop predictably hum because flare accidentally compare than a omniscient pamphlet. red, nauseating army

The Marsalis Family is a blessed heritage!

I don’t like what this has become

"My job is a day off". He is joyous!

9:05 The experience that Wynton shares here is SO REAL and SO NECESSARY! REAL TALK!!!

It was a good to hear Wynton speak from the heart. Oftentimes he does tend to get a little preachy about jazz, but this was a much more human side of Wynton. It was nice to see.

What brand of shoes are these guys wearing?

Wynton MARSALIS IS Definitely JAZZ.....

I like Wynton, but he can also sound pre-thought out, rehearsed, and a bit canned in his ideas; which is sort of ironic for a Jazz Musician.

Wynton is my Hero, my Guru, so wise

I LOVE this man!

I hope Wynton stays on Jazz Lincoln Canter Orchestra for many more years.

A great Legend

He's awesome!

Watch this amazing interview with Olivier Theurillat, he was mentored by Wynton during his time at Julliard - kzbin.info/www/bejne/maqcqYh4odWtbNk
