Say whatever you please about Wynton. In the early 80's, my metronome went off in my locker at the gym from my trumpet bag. I'm pretty deaf, didn't hear it and was told by another guy in the locker room. Saw my trumpet bag, and said he and his son were at the same hotel where Marsalis was staying as his son heard him in the staircase practicing and where Wynton spent nearly an hour playing for this young man. Later they the father met him and thanked him.
Wynton, when I was coming up in the 80s you were a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for your larger than life bluesy riffs, and your super crisp classical playing. You were the only musician to ever win Grammys in both jazz and classical music in the same year. I'm 49 and just picking up the trumpet again after all these years so I can share music with my son who plays the guitar and sings. We're having a blast. I always go back to my roots and you were a huge influence for me along with Louis Armstrong. God bless you brother.
ok, so now I just wanna go & 'shed' for like 7 hours straight...!! Whenever I listen to Wynton--play AND talk, he always makes me want to practice even more. It's gonna be very hard for me not to pick up my horn right now, but in consideration for the rest of my family, I guess I'll have to wait until they wake up (on their own!); it's 2:15 in the morning.
Hi I am so happy that my documentary still plays and pleases people's eyes and ears with Wynton, who just does not change :) I just wanna point ouyt that if you like Clark Terry, there is a documentary about him. I know it because they asked me some excerpt of this film for their film.
Wynton never ceases to amaze, engage, and most importantly inspire my love of music and of teaching. Much love.

who ELSE would play jazz at the dinner table!! this is why he's my favorite trumpet player!

Wow!!! is all I can say!!!
18:24 Important point.
I'm sorry, I cannot find what the music behind the closing credits is - that amazing 7/4 Coltranesque chant. So striking. Anyone know what it is?
japanjazzman have you found it yet? I am looking for it also
It's right there in the credits at the end.
It's Marsalis' "In This House On This Morning" "The Sermon" "The Initiation"
the song is called recessional and that part starts at 5:05 on the studio recording
what is that tune at 26:49??? that shit is insane
Different from Miles,Wynton pet history changed with the advance of listners.
14:14 Wow
Interesting comment about the pope.. We're already there..
