I started playing trumpet in 1981..... I grew up with this gifted man leading the way.....I am no where near the player he is,but I feel he has helped me along the way on my music journey!
I remember when Wynton was first becoming known and Miles gave him a bad time. I think that helped Wynton to grow, blessing in disguise. Thank you for being who you are.
Something about the trumpet just brings me to a feeling of what America is. Subtle, humble, with just the sheer sound of the American spirit. I shed a tear every time hearing this hymn. God bless America.
Tears....many tears. Your interpretation of Amazing Grace speaks to my heart, and deep in my soul. Thank you for gracing us with your God given gift. I certainly am not worthy.
He is the most accomplished and complete musician on the planet, in my opinion. Plays any genre expertly, and is dedicated to preserving and elevating so many classics that seem to be going by the wayside. This performance is truly remarkable!
RUclips should NEVER remove this video. If RUclips does not have a permanent collection of videos, then it needs one right now and this video needs to be in that collection immediately. Mr. Marsalis, you have been an inspiration to many. I am now one of your biggest fans. I just hope and pray that you are not playing "Taps" in the same hall on January 20, 2021. Thank you so very much for this video and for your playing. Wynton Marsalis for President!!!!
@@zoejewell8771 If Trump can run his business empire and be President at the same time, I think Wynton Marsalis could easily run the country and keep playing trumpet and leading the JLCO.
@@zoejewell8771 I get that. I think my point that we do not lose anything with Wynton Marsalis as president is made. WYNTON FOR PRESIDENT!! Where can I get that bumper sticker??? The White House residence already has a music room. It is ready for him to take the gig. The one thing is that this job might mean a pay cut for Mr. Marsalis, but the State Dinners would be much more enjoyable for all. I cannot wait for his first State of the Union address.
The amazing thing about the music world is that so few of us recognize the absolutely unchallenged greatness of Mr Marsalis as a trumpet player. So few musicians ever achieve his level of musical prowess. We are fortunate today to have many recordings and even video of great trumpet players like Raphael Mendez..... Dizzy Gillespie....Louis Armstrong....Harry James....Doc Severinsen....Chet Baker....Miles Davis.... Maurice Andre.....Clark Terry and countless others...yet we have Wynton today in his prime as a musician and don't seem to recognize his greatness.
Aww Wynton! I love the musical life metaphor! Small government and big band lol. Mr. Newton was a changed man - I pray we all would be! PS, love how the mouthpiece is molded into the leadpipe!
Amazing and strikingly accurate comparisons between jazz and our society. Every note was played so wholeheartedly - always an inspiration as a musician and a human being.
My third try at posting this (too old I guess). May God bless you always Wynton. You are a national treasure. And speaking of things Anglo Celtic, my parents were born in Ireland. We grew up in Brooklyn in the 60’s. But Mom was born a farm girl in Ireland without running water or electricity. In winter months, as a teenager, she would go to England to work as a domestic and send cash home (for a subsistence farmer, there is no better crop than cash). The slights she endured rolled down her back as water off a duck’s. She had her faith, her family, and dancing on the weekends - even during the blitz in London in World War II. Mom and Dad were dead before I could thank them for growing up in a home without bigotry. Dad was a bus driver, union activist, and good man. And while there were challenges growing up in Brooklyn (good friends with rough ways, alcohol, etc.) I had to enter the “real world” as a young lawyer before I heard words that would never have been tolerated in my father’s home. They remembered all too well the stings of being an “annie” or a “paddy” in England. And yes, even after a challenging childhood when many friends went astray, I eventually saw the light (through no merit of my own) and cannot hear Amazing Grace at Mass without tearing up, much to the embarrassment of my dear wife. We’ve been fans and attendees of JALC from the beginning and will always be (my father, RIP, was a great fan of Jazz). And while I never made much as a lawyer (I’m not complaining, I was able with my wife’s help to raise my sons to be fine gentlemen who now recommend music to me, and have all the LP’s I thought were useless!) I will always be a fan of JALC. And should a great fortune come into to my hands (at this stage it have to come from Lotto), then I will become a generous contributor to JALC. PS RIP Stanley Crouch, a master stylist with words as Wynton is with a horn, composing, and arranging.
he's a teacher /evangelist that leads from the front . with his incredible feel and erudition he opens up the riches for us to enter into a greater appreciation and astonishment and partake of the glory ,he's unwrapped for us. drink up everybody so you're full and overflowing .i only came across this man yesterday with his harvard teaching .what a gift he has to bestow on the world .for "whosover" (nearly my favourite word in the bible ) how lucky am i .thanks from aus. thanks america ,we owe you another one for this man.
Saw you back in 98 or so in Charlotte and the experience has been a part of me since. Amazing Grace has always been one of my faves, but you explaining where it came from, makes it more special. That’s what we all need. The ultimate revival
Why does this video not have a million likes and a billion views? Sheesh, I can’t remember the last time I felt so inspired and motivated to keep doing what I’m doing. Fighting for the freedoms of all. Thank you for reminding me of my calling. I nearly gave up all hope.
Thank you, Mr. Marsalis. Your gracious words match the gracious actions and political stances you take, and I appreciate your focusing on what can really help us. Your music and voice are inspirational.
Folks go check out The Ever Fonky Lowdown it's wynton's latest masterpiece and it's all about American values, democratic freedoms, and democratic participation.
Amen. Every year for Christmas we would bring our sons to the holiday concert of JALC, even when it was still at Lincoln Center. Wynton’s arrangement of the America’s genius Duke Ellington’s arrangement of the Nutcracker Suite was among the best things I ever saw/heard. (And by the way, RIP Stanley Crouch, a master with words as Wynton is a master with trumpet.) And before the “lockdown” destroyed the small Jazz clubs we would go about a dozen times a year to hear America’s Classical Music. And when Judgment Day comes and that roll is taken up there, Exhibit A for the value of America will be Jazz. The Ever Fonky Lowdown was great, great, great. Lesson? It’s all a hustle and one has to guard one’s soul from being sucked into the hustle.
I started playing trumpet in 1981..... I grew up with this gifted man leading the way.....I am no where near the player he is,but I feel he has helped me along the way on my music journey!
I can never hear enough of Wynton's word or notes.
4-Sho!!!!
Wynton doesn’t just HAVE class, he is the DEFINITION of American class.
Spokesman for the common man, musician for humanity.
This guy... There's no words. 🎶
I got words. It was extraordinarily mesmerizing.
I share your sentiment sir.
There’s no words because he’s playing trumpet not singing 🤦♂️
@@levimccoy4127 Lol
I talked to Wynton the other night about this. I got to tell him how great it is 😊
The best interpretation of Amazing Grace I ever heard - makes me tear up every time I listen to it 🥲🥲
How well spoken. How beautifully played. Solemn and hopeful all at once.
A brilliant man, trumpet player and human being! Thank you Wynton! God Bless You! 🎺🙏🇺🇸
I remember when Wynton was first becoming known and Miles gave him a bad time. I think that helped Wynton to grow, blessing in disguise. Thank you for being who you are.
Miles used to call him the "effin police"
Wynton Marsalis for President!

America. The trumpet. England. The Cornet. Both, beautiful.
God bless America!

Wynton Président 🎷❤🇫🇷
With Trump on bassoon
Wynton Marsalis sir, you are champion nf the world!
The man not only respects jazz and it's traditions, but calls attention to the genre as a high art.
Wow! He is always right on, musically and fundamentally. Gets right to the heart of it.
He is the most accomplished and complete musician on the planet, in my opinion. Plays any genre expertly, and is dedicated to preserving and elevating so many classics that seem to be going by the wayside. This performance is truly remarkable!
Winton is a national treasure. I cherish all that he is and does.
As brilliant with words as he is with the trumpet...as always! 🎶 🎺❤️

I couldn't agree more! But my son, an aspiring jazz trumpeter, said that the jazz world can't spare Wynton for President :)
@@zoejewell8771 If Trump can run his business empire and be President at the same time, I think Wynton Marsalis could easily run the country and keep playing trumpet and leading the JLCO.
@@jazzbariman Wynton probably could - and the bar is currently low - Trump has neither managed to run his business empire or the country!

Agreed. But we trumpet players who are teachers definitely know, and we are teaching our students about Wynton and the rest! Thanks for this, Gary!
One of the things I’ve always deeply respected about Wynton is his restraint and editorial abilities.
Amazing grace by an amazing human being
Brother Wynton Marsalis musical genius of our time' my the Lord continue to bless you and your family. Much Love my brother '
Heal my US
And those across the pond as well.
Aww Wynton! I love the musical life metaphor! Small government and big band lol. Mr. Newton was a changed man - I pray we all would be! PS, love how the mouthpiece is molded into the leadpipe!
You are amazing as a musician and a human being, your soul has the correct fundamental values! Thanks 🙏🏻
The way he bends the notes, it sounds like the nation crying. We are crying.
So moving, so hopeful.
Amazing and strikingly accurate comparisons between jazz and our society. Every note was played so wholeheartedly - always an inspiration as a musician and a human being.
Technically the best trumpet player I have heard!❤
Great finesse, great depth.
With greatness comes responsibilty. Wynton Marsalis is an inspration to everyone on the planet.
Wonderful, exquisite, full of warmth and humanity.
So wise. Just beautiful.

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Thank you So So Much, Wynton ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
That was beautiful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Natural cathedral reverb! Thank you! 👍🏻🎸🍊
Mr. Marsalis you are my hero
The speech he gives is so 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭

So well spoken, I remember the young Winton on the Mr. Roger's show....you have remained forever talented!
And he practices consistently every day to grow his talent!
Amen! I have played this at family funerals for years. It is truly timeless and speaks to the very core of our existence.
I have also played it, 3 times, at funerals. /sax player
Beautiful
Superbe cours de démocratie ! Superbe Winton Marsalis !
He gets me right in the gut when he speaks and he gets me right in the gut when he plays. My hero.
Beautiful! 😊
Beautiful in any language
Great Artist educate while creating art . Wynton who I have heard live in an intimate setting is incandescent !

Thank you ... a blessing to hear and to share.
Le meilleur trompetiste du monde. Brillant ❤
You are awesome. Thank you.
Saw you back in 98 or so in Charlotte and the experience has been a part of me since. Amazing Grace has always been one of my faves, but you explaining where it came from, makes it more special. That’s what we all need. The ultimate revival
That you for so clearly stating the challenge before us.
How beautiful!!
I like your light, beautiful, quiet way of playing

Amazing, thank you for this wonderful performance.
Beautiful!
Just from this one video, I'd vote for you as president sir, make it happen
So Special ! I like to hear this every day.
What an extraordinary video.
That is so beautiful. Thanks for that.
So beautiful in its simplicity! Such emotion.
My goodness this is beautiful from start to end. It’ll resonate with me for hours and days to come.
I love this guy! A real soul ambasador
Very precise on your musical metaphors.

Just beautiful
Beautiful introduction. Beautiful music. Thank you.
Sensacional... música divina interpretada por aquele que nada mais é que o melhor trompetista do mundo!!! 👏👏👏👏
❤ OUI !!!❤
Your grace is amazing 👏
the greatest video on youtube
Mr. Marsalis' mastery on full display once more. Let's not forget who Amazing Grace is about though: Jesus of Nazareth.
Wrong. But when you inject that fantasy god of yours into the lyrics well, gee, every song would be about Jebus.
@@drumcircler are you trying to argue that the composer of this song was not referring to Jesus?
Amazing
Inspirational words and spiritual notes
Well said... He's the best.
Meraviglioso!
Wunderbare Interpretation! Toller Sound.
Back here again for the 4th.
Wow!! ❤️❤️
Chillz brother! Wow
👏🏾👏🏾
Jazz is democracy.
gênio!!!!!!!!!! chorei aqui!!
