Really like this film. Many great moments. The sequence cut to Fuschia in New Orleans is very moving. I was always v fond of Wynton's straight ahead stuff. I particularly like his talk about how difficult it was to find and define himself within jazz itself debunking the myth that he was born into it via NO. We're all dillettantes to some extent. I met him 25 years ago when I was struggling with the instrument. He recognised that passion and helped me so much with his no nonsense approach. I couldn't believe how down home he was even after all his success. LEGEND.

Marsalis describing Stravinsky and 20th century composers ...Just wow!!! 😂😂😂🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 his ideas are so priceless, I could watch him talking about music all day because he literally does everything. The advantage of musicians like Wynton is that the there’s no separation between the spirit and instrument, they come together although it takes continuous commitment to maintain the passion ❤️🎶🎶🎶 I love musicians who take risks and experiment all the time to keep their interpretations fresh!!!❤️🥰

yes we don't need great musicians or artists to have all the answers - we just need them have strong ideas, and to execute them

Wynton truly is a national treasure! As a trumpet player he gains credibility by becoming the best classical trumpeter of all time and then devoting his time to jazz. His comments and theory on race relations are still so relevant today. A true musical genius that will be remembered and talked about hundreds of years from now, when everything else on the radio is long forgotten.

This HAS an awakening thing going on with me! I'd begun in my youth with Rock music, then in high school hooked up with a bassist who had lots of top-tier recording equipment that we recorded musical rehearsals with. we all loved Jazz from SO many jazz artists, as well as modern "Prog Rock" Bands.. Then the end of high school happened that resulted in my return to Long Island NY from Sudbury MA.. Where I met a young lady that I fell in love with. I continued with my drums as a rock drummer for many years. It robbed me of my Jazz drumming as the years passed. This video now has me reconsidering Jazz music ! I am proficient at the main prog rock school of thought. (YES, Genesis, ELP, and the rest... But darn disconnected from the great modern JAZZ BANDS!

Say Heah Wyton, I know your going to say you love both, Classical and Jazz, and you play both masterfully, But serious, which is your Fav. if you just had to pick one. Oh, by the way. When you were in Cleveland buying some moutpieces on Fulton Ave year's ago. You missed an old beat up mouthpiece Louie Played, Well. I bought that one, I had a friend coat it gold. It was one he got in France, Thanx for not buying that one. It was heavily used and the original chrome was worn and the brass was showing through, so it didn't look appealing, But I recognized it from some of his history book's and I'm a proud owner, plus I think the owner of the music store told me you were there looking and that you bought a few of them Yeah, I toot on it, But I'm not in either of your catogory, But I like the fact he played on it. Oh, it's a Coronet mouthpiece.,,.

Did i miss, or did they not interview his trumpet teacher in N.O. the late George Jansen. So good to hear and see Kenny Kirkland, Jeff Watts, Net Man, Charles Flambrough. and of course Steepy. A really good doc. Skane. Give them the Knozz Moe King.

Today's youth have no attention span for even popular music, it gets more and more base and repetitive. Shallow, ever more? 52:00 Talkin about Satch? Wynton was on the money. Just because a dude was happy and black it was an accident??? Louis Armstrong was the best! A Buddhist might call him a Bodhisattva, a thoughtful Judeo-Christian might call him a Prophet? As Duke Ellington said, "born poor. died rich, never hurt nobody along the way." I think that sums it up best. Keep blowin Wynton! You'll never reach Satch's status in celebrity. That being said, I'm sure Wynton might agree that was never Louis' motivation in the first... It was simply something he was born into this world and did... with beauty impeccable. He was music... alive!!! Keep blowin Wynton! Second chair to Satch??? You, good gentleman, are are a genius. I have always loved the horns. You are brilliant in your soloing, thoughtful in your speech, and a monument to man's achievements in your own right... The beautiful artistry of Mr. Wynton Marsalis, a man among men.
