Wynton Marsalis being a legend for 15 minutes straight

Wynton called me one night on my cell when I was out listening to a band at a club. (well, his assistant called and told me he wanted to speak with me. Wynton called later when I was back at my apartment alone.) Shocked the hell out of me. We talked for over an hour and he was the most approachable, smart, interesting guy you could imagine. I felt like I should get off the call as soon as I could because, clearly, this was Wynton Marsallis, and surely he was super busy. (he was at a studio in L.A. at the time) But no. We had a great conversation like we'd known each other for years. A remarkable experience.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

A little context please... WHY did he call you in the first place? 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ChristopherBix]

@@SteveStockmalMusic Sorry. Didn't want to make the post too long. He had a blog online and had written a piece about race and early jazz music in which he mentioned my great uncle Bix Beiderbecke. I wrote a comment to it that apparently caught his eye and he wanted to talk to me about it. Which is pretty cool. As I said, we had a great conversation for longer than I ever thought we would and he later wrote about it on his blog and said he'd taken my points and agreed.

[@titusweinzierl3555]

When he was playing the horn it was interesting to see his pinky moving out of reflex from kicking out his tuning slide

[@TheGrizNation]

I know we look at a guy like Wynton and think he's a god now but he's just a human who has practiced more hours on a horn than you can even imagine. Add in natural talent and skill and he is who he is. Charlie Parker practiced 15 hours a day for literally 4 years straight just to get noticed. Only a sliver of insight into superhero players like this.

[@jwmc41]

Yes, but Charlie was a great musical innovator who changed just about every saxophone player’s view of his instrument. Wynton, for all his technical skills, is not a musical innovator and he leaves no stylistic (as opposed maybe to raising technical standards) influence behind him.

[@GoldinDr]

There are people who practice hours and hours and will never sound like Wynton Marsalis.

[@UrusaiJoe]
