Wynton Marsalis is not only a master of the cornet (trumpet) but a master of history as well. I enjoyed listening to him combine musical thought with historic content, and performing music. Like Marsalis, I knew a lot of the people he mentioned like Dizzy Gillespie, and was invited to share in the Gillespie Family Reunion in Cheraw, South Carolina. Top of that, Jon Batiste is an incredible pianist/. This was a wonderful educational hour of music and history.

@@CaliAllyE Most of the time, when one comes from a big and stable family, one's confidence is built up over the years along with the natural sibling pecking order having been well established, so, that could be misconstrued as arrogance; youth + high talent makes that ever more more possible. However, Wynton Marsalis has been the best ambassador for jazz music and music in general from his family and education to his historic childhood location, New Orleans, Louisiana in which jazz music was created, and, jazz music is the only true and original American music art form born in the United States of America, as we all should know by now.
