SFJAZZ Dialogues: Wynton Marsalis and Terence Blanchard

[@patrickhoban-evangelist]

Hey Mr. Blanchard, I just saw you recently at the Herbie Hancock concert in Minneapolis with my two sons. Actually to my shame never heard you before. I couldn’t believe this sounds that you were producing out of that trumpet. Each time you hit a high note I thought how in the world did he do that but then you went higher. I’m privileged to have such fantastic musicians, including you at that concert. Since that time, my boys and I have really enjoyed your music thank you so much. And also to Mr. Marsalis, I’ve enjoyed your music everywhere. I’ve heard it, ever since I saw you on the jazz documentary several years ago. Thank you so much.

There's always folks in the jazz world who worry way too much about the so-called "institutionalization" of the music, as if that's going to damage it in some way. Then you listen to masters like Wynton and Terence, who are actually doing the work in those places, and the deep bonds of community they share, and their immense pride in the art, and their tremendous humility as lifelong students and teachers of it, and you know that all that worrying is drastically misplaced, because institutions come alive when people like this bring their life and spirit into them. With guys like Wynton and Terence doing the work, and the love and history they bring to it, it's not about the "institutionalization of Jazz," it's about the jazzing of the institutional space of music. And that's a good thing.

Impactful interview. I know we are all busy but let's get to work to expand SFJAZZ and JALC to one university at a time in a summer camp starting 2025. 🙂

Yall should put the bands together and do Mingus' Epitaph.

Oh, wow I just scrolled around and saw that Epitaph is a done deal.
