Miles on his best day couldn't shine Wynton's shoes by any measure. Decades of Miles' career were a fraud of posturing and pretense.

Haha! That was Miles’s best attempt at couth, his body language said this jive Turkey is vanilla AF!!

Wynton Marsalis is a musical genius in every respect, IMO. Great player, great composer, great arranger... just all around brilliant.

Wynton is Miles without all the drugs!

Wynton an excellent trumpet player that got right to the point,and Just like Tony Williams,put guys on notice

I think the Shew Jazz does weird things to my intonation and is thus harder to manage than the 3C. I have various 3C size mouthpieces but always come back to the Bach. It's too good of an all-rounder. I also like the Yamaha 11B4 & 14B4 for what it's worth.

Comcerto? WTF?

They had to re paint the walls after that!

My wife turned me onto Sunday morning (she's been a fan since the Charlie Osgood days).

Just watched this movie today! Amazing! And your playing is awesome!

The Shew has too soft of a bite, in my opinion. I much prefer the Bach rim.

At least he didn't curse anything...

This was in 1987....Marsalis was already accomplished in 1987, but was no where near where he's been the past 25-30 years. Miles has a legitimate point here, but Marsalis developed substantially since and I would suspect Miles would improve his comment were he around today.

The third one is definitely the best

Absolutely right, he is a good trumpet player - but nothing more.

might be the coolest guy ever

Who’s the guy (tpt) next to him?

Wynton is a legend, but he missed the mark here. This piece does not translate well to people trying to put their spin on it. Abblasen demands fidelity to the way it was originally written.

A beautiful and tremendous trumpeter!!!

It's crazy how now when wynton plays, you know it's him. Wynton was a young player when he first met miles.

It always puzzles me that the Haydn is (was?) always part of Grade 8 for Bb trumpet and ARCM exam, yet it was written for, and played on an Eb by all the soloists! In other words, pro trumpet soloists have an easier time than students!

he's talking about a person who is 7 years into what is now a 44 year career (starting when Wynton joined Blakey)

He is a dirty dawg though, hitting Nicky Benedetti, what a fine piece of dago booty. 👊🏿🤙🏿😉

One thing we should remember is that Wynton is classically trained. Have any of you heard him perform Trumpet Concertos with Orchestra? In 1987, he didn't have too many albums to his name. He had just finished recording his Standard Time Vol. 1. Wynton has come A LOONG WAY since that album. I feel he has found his own voice and he has so many great albums to his credit including Live. Wynton is a pure jazz musician through and through.

Wynton is Wynton,he plays from the heart, everybody can't be a Miles Davis. 🤔

Miles wasn't the only musician to say this about Wynton Marsalis. When I think of great virtuoso trumpeters (Woody Shaw, Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard and others who came later) they knew the history but were also interested in moving forward. Marsalis is almost like a classical musician playing jazz in the way it's "supposed to be played". One of the things I love about jazz is it is values individual expression and innovation. I don't really hesr that from Marsalis, in any environment, even playing Ornette 's material or playing with Clapton. Great technician, though; but while I admire his slickness, I don't find his music that interesting to me. (I grew up with a lot of 60s and 70s free jazz.)

The Charles Kuralt version was my favorite. It was simple, clean and unassuming. The current one is too frilled for my taste.

Highly overrated this man. Just my opinion.

Wynton since then has been able to play any style he wants, haha. I have heard him play three times and he is without a doubt the greatest trumpet player i've ever heard in person by a long shot. I never heard any of the old heads back in miles' day, so i'm sure i would be saying differently if i had. That being said, I would still put Wynton in my personal top 5 favorite trumpet players of all time still. Call it bias, but you can't deny how talented Wynton is and how good of a music educator he also is.

Also Davis did NOT like Wynton. Davis was being nice here.

Wasn’t it 2004 when the first one

Miles was full of crap. Wynton is the best there is, and that includes Miles.

The best live performance.

Chert baker....❤

It's the same in guitar. Lots of people know the scales and chords but they are boring to listen to. Music is like a language. Knowing how to spell doesn't make you a good writer.

when he says that marsalis is a 'good trumpet player',....you have to remember the miles rule..there are musicians, good musicians, and mothefuckers....

Miles was being nice here. 😅 I’ve always said that the Miles/Wynton juxtaposition was backwards: the old head was trying to move forward and innovate, while the young buck was stuck in the past. Yes, Wynton is a master trumpet player; possibly the most technically gifted jazz trumpet player ever. But it means more to me if you can play AND you changed music forever.

Wynton Marsalis = the Wiener Philarmoniker coming back on stage every single year for the New Year Concert and stating "listen, guys, you may all play waltz, galop, polka, and so on the way you want, drunk at Oktoberfest or clean, sober and well-dressed at Carnegie Hall, but WE set the standard you comply with or deviate from". You need Mason Bates and Peter Eötvös to bring change, but you also need people who reminds you of what the standard is.

This is accurate. But not everyone can be an innovator, or has a compelling unique voice in music, like Miles Davis. The same is true with Coltrane. Which tenor sax player sounds better than Coltrane, no matter how many transcriptions they have done.

May the creator bless his soul, he's one if not the greatest trumpet player ever, but I don't like it (black on black....) do it behind door! Food for thought! I love Wynton Marsalis, but he's no miles Davis, but an excellent trumpet play! 🥂🍷⚫️

Miles used to blow some bum notes sometimes. Wynton doesn’t. I prefer imperfection.

Wynton Marsalis is so reminiscent of Neil deGrasse Tyson in that smug pomposity and ultimate mediocrity of such self-proclaimed guardians. The so-called 'classical' music scene is a necrophile orgy of technique fetishism, empty virtuosity and disciplinary obsession substituting for art that, frankly, at this point it only appeals to hard working first generation immigrant children -- just one step above a spelling bee. Jazz is, correctly speaking, the classical music of black America, and Wynton is doing his very best to kill it just as dead with his conservatism as European 'classical' music is dead and buried in the banal elitism of difficulty for the sake of difficulty and superiority for the sake of superiority.

Still true.

Miles Davis = Mugen Wonton Marsalis = Jin Both excellent swordsmen with two completely different approaches.

He’s straight though, competition is in every field…. Give him his propers Miles, he was a great trumpet player…. 🤔🤣😂

Once Miles said something like this about Improvisation: i don't want to hear what you know, i want to hear what you don't know

37 years later: nope Wynton's still the same.

Yes classically trained is not jazz as maestro miles knows

Wint be playing too much with those NEADERTHAL'S!! This is what Miles would have said off camera, or 30 years priorto this taping he would have said it that way to anyone's face!
