What I love about Wynton Marsalis is the combination of very deep knowledge of music (and life generally) with genuine humility. The guy is wise.

I agree with Wynton. Those are some of the best questions I have ever heard from someone interviewing a jazz musician. What an interview!

Agreed. And i watch a lot of sit down interviews w all types of musicans. This was treat to listen to from both people.

Listening to this interview in Aussieland, where I worked in the 70s for 6 years in my diplomatic career, my two sons were born there and among other things, I had the chance to meet Ella in her visit to Sydney in the late seventies... and I could go on and on as far as to describe mayself as a jazz lover, in a country where I also heard and saw Oacar Peterson, Joe Pass, Dave Brubeck and many others. Wynton in Sydney and listening to him talking in this outstanding interview confirms my complete admiration to such a great man, superbe musician and a true role model for many youngsters who would love to play trumpet like him. No doubt about it. Some years back he came to Buenos Aires with his group to play in one of the top theaters. With another jazz lover friend of mine we couldn't get tickets to the show, so we decided to walk home. Suddenly in a nearby hotel a taxi stops and Wynton comes out. We stopped him and I appealed to my professional background, and so did my friend, a very well known Argentine folk musician, and told Wynton we had no tickets. He immediately looked for one of his assistants and in two minutes we were assured two places in the best stalls of the theater. We shall never forget that gesture. And the show, as usual, magnificent.

Argentinian bass player, Horacio Fumero, was a founding member of a jazz trio with Catalan pianist/composer Tete Montoliu (1933-97). Based in Barcelona for many years, he and his daughter, pianist/singer and composer Lucia Fumero now play and record a modern Catalan style of jazz which includes Portuguese and Brazilian elements. They are part of a jazz revival movement in Barcelona which Wynton Marsalis has been encouraging and supporting personally. R (Australia)

Same. Wynton has always been articulate as the Ken Burns documentary on Jazz makes clear but these days he really has something to say that's worth hearing. 😊

He exudes humanity. If people with such open minds were the leaders of countries, I imagine we'd have an improved world, with more creative improvised solutions, and an orchestration more in touch with the rhythms of our planet. Perchance to dream...

When Wynton started talking about Catalan pianist/composer Tete Montoliu, I was hoping he might go on to mention the work and encouragement he has devoted over a period of years to a tiny Barcelona based youth jazz school, the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, where Tete's work is studied, played and revered. Taking children from the age of six into a free programme of intense training until they graduate around eighteen or twenty, the school has produced a cohort of major new artists, some of which Wynton has helped develop professional careers through his contacts. This was a first class interview which revealed Marsalis to those who don't already know him, as the great jazz artist and educator that he is. R (Australia)

As great a musician as he is, he is a far greater human. This interview along with his kind words about Steve Massey are so inspiring.

This guy is a legend alive. He explains things so simple but it is deep. And I know understand more about jazz.

Jazz is in the fabric of who I am today. Wynton has been an inspiration for me for 30 years of playing trumpet. I play in a Jazz trio every week and I am blessed to converse through jazz standards and improv with my friends. It makes me feel whole. Thank-you for this interview!

Thanks so much for this interview. It captured the old school feeling.

Wynton - you really do have so much to say worth listening to. I learned so much from this interview- what thoughtful answers to some top notch questions! Wow. - “on any given day at any given moment people can lift you up and show you another way to view the world .” Thank you. 🙏🏽💜🦋

Right....we all need to remember that.

That was so great, so wonderful ... as a fan of Wynton's for over 40 years, that was the most absorbing, intelligent and uplifting interview I've heard. Thank you sincerely, Ms Tingle. Man, I've gotta download this... it demands repeated viewing.

Thanks for posting this Aunty and for getting the interview itself. What a cool guy. Wish he was coming to Perth.

Delightful to hear the entire interview. I've enjoyed all the times I've heard with Wynton on the ABC. Thank you!

made my day , and I have a gig tonight. gratitude

Wynton is my hero ❤️

i love this man. so much wisdom and humility, i aspire to be like him

One of the greats. All give knowledge about life and jazz

Incredible interview and yes Winton, she asked some brilliant, informative questions!!!

Always Inspiring 🙏🏽

thaat was great. Wynton, i'm always impressed and inspired when you speak of jazz.

What a beautiful interview! Wynton Marsalis is one of the best combination you can fin of a great musician, an innovator, and an educator. To me, this interview was a master class.

Terrific interview

Sensational!

jazz is the supreme of music, jazz will never die.

wynton will forever be remembered as one of the greatest musicians to ever live, a global educator for multiple generations, and for never failing to wear the most ridiculous glasses imaginable. his glasses must be from the future

Great, great great... thank you so much

He keeps things real!

Beautiful

Well done, a great interview

Wynton, did you ever attend a trumpet clinic with Gerard Schwartz at the Jefferson center for the Arts in New Hampshire in the middle '70's.? '

Lifted!

More.

LOL. Wearing suits while playing jazz is what killed it.

Dipped in rainbow dust

I wish she was more spontaneous. When chatting jazz being a bit extempore is nice

Charlie Parker is one of the greatest jazzers of all time, no matter what wynton says.

Good afternoon Uncle Sam... Again Thanks NYPD

Wynton is cool but he's a purist/moldy fig.

I wish Jazz had more purists like Wynton.

The interviewer was severely underwhelming.

Really? At one point Wynton praised her for asking such an excellent question. Sure, she didn't exude musical knowledge, but jazz is pretty darn esoteric. How many journalists would have a decent understanding of it?

I don't like Wynton I LOVE Branford
