Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast, after the inspiring conversation in our last episode with Wesley Watkins about The Jazz & Democracy Project and more, I couldn’t resist giong back into the GC archives for an encore presentation of my conversation with Maestro Wynton Marsalis. We recorded this conversation when the podcast was just a toddler, back in the days when we were just “doing something” and not yet “manifesting a new world.” It was also on the eve of the 2020 election, however, like so many of our conversations the topics and insights remain evergreen. How far we’ve come and continue to carry on! Check out the original show notes for more on his bio and topics of interest .

Jazz Age nightlife meant big bands with legendary leaders and cutting-edge crowds who showed up to dance. From the 1920s, hotel ballrooms played host to this burgeoning American artform, and the St. Regis sat at the vanguard. Jazz legend and torchbearer Wynton Marsalis joins journalist Howie Kahn and Marriott Senior Vice Predisent and Global Brand Leader Jenni Benzaquen to share stories and reflections about the complexity of jazz’s evolution: from how Duke Ellington and Count Basie ran their bands, to the timeless cool of Mel Tormé, to a young Wynton risking his own life to see live jazz in his native Louisiana. As Wynton Marsalis explains, the heartbeat of jazz in America is nothing short of vital to communities, to culture, and to our country. Later in the show, author Oliver Munday shares his elevator story.

Episode 82: Wynton Marsalis with Christian McBride Recorded live in front of a studio audience during The Jazz Cruise 2023, this episode features a deeply personal and insightful conversation between jazz icon Wynton Marsalis and host Christian McBride. The two explore their nearly 40-year relationship, which began when McBride was a 14-year-old bassist in Philadelphia, and discuss the vital roles of mentorship, discipline, and cultural heritage in the world of jazz. Christian also gave Wynton a three-song Blindfold Test, featuring trumpeters. You can guess how that went. The two also played a couple of duets. But throughout their talk, it's the stories about their elders that resonated. Key Takeaways The Power of Mentorship: Christian McBride recalls how Marsalis set a professional standard for young musicians in the 1980s and even personally convinced McBride’s mother to let him move to New York City.Defining "Hip" through Discipline: Marsalis emphasizes that true achievement isn't "hanging" all night, but having the discipline to get up and function professionally the next morning.Intellectual Growth: Wynton shares stories of his 30-year relationship with the late writer and "Doctor of Connections," Stanley Crouch, who pushed him to be as well-read and knowledgeable off his instrument as he was on it.Integrity of Elders: The discussion highlights the uncompromising artistic integrity of legends like Betty Carter and Art Blakey, who mentored Marsalis and shaped his approach to leadership.Cultural Icons: Marsalis reflects on his connections to giants of Black American culture, including Ralph Ellison, Romare Bearden, Alvin Ailey, and August Wilson.The Blindfold Test: Wynton aced a three-song trumpet challenge, identifying and sharing anecdotes about Harry "Sweets" Edison, Clark Terry, and Woody Shaw.Musical Connection: The episode features the two masters performing "All the Things You Are," illustrating their spontaneous musical chemistry.Send us Fan Mail Listen to more episodes of Jazz Cruises Conversations on Spotify, iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, the managing and artistic director of New York’s Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC), is a man bursting with endless energy. Throughout his four-decade career, he has never seemed to run out of steam. He signed his first recording contract at 22, and has gone on to release more than 100 jazz and classical recordings, win nine Grammy Awards, author six books, and earn more than 40 honorary degrees. In 1987, Marsalis co-founded a jazz program at Lincoln Center, which, following the initiative’s success, made it a formal part of the performing arts institution in 1996. The following year, his album Blood on the Fields , an oratorio about slavery, won a Pulitzer Prize. Not even the pandemic could stop Marsalis from using music as a vessel for knowledge and expression. As New York went into lockdown last March, he accelerated JALC’s digital programming with initiatives including a weekly YouTube conversation series and a virtual edition of JALC’s high school jazz band competition. In August 2020, he released The Ever Fonky Lowdown , a horn-powered survey of the forces that divide people and a vision of how we might rise above them. Through it all, Marsalis has remained passionate about the power of his work. “Music is important,” he says, “because music, and all art, is reenactment. The reenactments exist to let you understand the meaning of things across time.” On this episode, Marsalis speaks with Andrew about jazz as a metaphor for democracy, communicating through instruments, and how understanding music lends itself to understanding life.

I had the chance to sit down with virtually with the legendary Wynton Marsalis for a conversation about Jazz, comparing jazz and classical pieces, why so many classical composers writing jazz fail and vice versa, and about his massively ambitious Blues Symphony. About halfway through the show Wynton takes you straight through the first movement of his symphony and I got the sense that I was living the dream of every artist hearing with perfect clarity how a composer conceived of their ideas. Don't miss it!

“Everything you do in the arts gives meaning to your way of life." In a year of pandemic, racial reckoning, and threats to democracy, Wynton Marsalis creates a seven-song cycle that imagines how artists can shape the times we live in. As he tells us the story of creating "The Democracy! Suite," he teaches unforgettable lessons about collaboration, preparation, and the rewards – and costs – of a creative life. When you’re playing to an elevated purpose, it opens possibilities and broadens your impact. And these are lessons that help you endure as a creative, no matter your field.

After a year in which we were all forced to improvise, and some of the most fundamental ideas and foundations of our society have been challenged, there may be no better art form to help us understand these times than jazz. In many ways, jazz is the music of democracy at its best, and shows how we can find harmony with one another and work together to become a more inclusive, kinder, and equitable nation.  In the premier episode of his podcast, President Clinton sits downs with one of the world’s most influential jazz artists, Wynton Marsalis, to hear powerful stories about Wynton’s life, how his recent works “The Ever Fonky Lowdown” and “The Democracy! Suite” are blueprints to help us decode and overcome the forces that divide us, and what he learned from his father, who he lost to COVID-19 early in the pandemic.

Wynton Marsalis created a profound examination of America, race, class, politics and human impulses with his latest epic composition, The Ever Fonky Lowdown. He explains to Marc how his perspective for the piece was largely aided by his fear of flying. Wynton's worldview was also shaped by watching his dad play jazz to limited audiences, realizing what it meant to play solely because you believe in the music.They also talk about Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock and Wynton's work with Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Wynton Marsalis was born into a musical tradition. He grew up in New Orleans, home of the best jazz musicians around – including his father, jazz-great Ellis Marsalis. But Wynton Marsalis is a master in his own right. Back in 1984, when he was just 22 years old, he won two Grammy awards for his performances in jazz and classical music. In 1997, Marsalis became the first jazz musician to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his record Blood on the Fields. Then in 2007, he released From the Plantation to the Penitentiary and it hit number two on the Billboard charts. Marsalis now works as the artistic director at Jazz at Lincoln Center. That’s where, in 2018, he debuted the work that would lay the foundation of his newest album: “The Ever Fonky Lowdown.” The album is deeply political, narrated by actor Wendall Pierce – a high school friend of Marsalis. And it’s dedicated to his father, who passed away from coronavirus complications this spring. On Into America, Marsalis talks with host Trymaine Lee about his writing process, how politics influences his music, and the magic of New Orleans.

Wynton Marsalis grew up in New Orleans in what’s been called America’s ‘first family of jazz’. His pianist father Ellis gave him a trumpet when he was six years old, but there was a slight issue - he didn't like playing and he didn't like jazz. But when Wynton started listening to his dad’s records, he had a musical epiphany. Mentored by his father, Wynton began a ground-breaking career. He’s sold millions of records worldwide, hosted jazz clinics on Sesame Street and at the White House, and made history by becoming the first jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize. After Ellis died last month from coronavirus, Wynton led a virtual jazz parade in memory of his beloved father.

He’s a jazz icon, but Wynton Marsalis has always been drawn to classical music as well. Marsalis talks with Kurt Andersen about composing symphonies and performing with orchestras. And the newest installment in our series about influential albums by women, This Woman's Work, features “Hounds of Love” by Kate Bush, with performers as varied Outkast’s Big Boi and singer Julia Holter revealing how the work inspired them.

Wynton Marsalis was on the cover of Time as the avatar of the "New Jazz Age." His central role in reviving the genre is thanks partly to his gorgeous, virtuosic trumpet-playing, and partly to his founding of Jazz at Lincoln Center. JALC established jazz at the heart of American high culture. That "officialness" turned off some jazz musicians: wasn't their music supposed to be looser, smaller? But Marsalis tells Alec that the desire to relegate jazz to small underground clubs is "ghettoizing." In front of a live audience at JALC's Rose Hall, Marsalis also goes deep with Alec about his father's influence -- and his racially fraught interactions with professors and conductors at Juilliard when he showed up from Louisiana in 1979.

Show Notes: Wynton Marsalis with Marcus Miller (Blue Note at Sea 2019) This compelling episode of Jazz Cruise Conversations captures an animated, insightful interview with legendary jazz trumpeter, band leader, composer, and ambassador, Wynton Marsalis, recorded live during Blue Note at Sea 2019. Hosted by bassist and fellow cruise headliner Marcus Miller, the conversation offers a deep look into Marsalis’s formative years, his rigorous musical training, and the intellectual and philosophical foundations that shaped his career. Marsalis addresses his upbringing in segregated New Orleans, the challenges of navigating both the classical and jazz worlds, and the profound lessons learned from his highly dedicated parents regarding music and education. The discussion provides rich detail on the genesis of his career and the philosophy that guides the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO). The Power of Innate Talent: Marsalis recalls his father, Ellis Marsalis, dismissing concerns about studying with a player who couldn't read music by stating, "Son, people can either play or they can't play". Ellis Marsalis believed pure musical ability superseded formal training (though he also noted Wynton's ability to read music as a strength). The Classical Challenge: Marsalis detailed the extraordinary demands of his classical auditions for schools like Juilliard, specifically citing advice from trumpet player Thomas Stevens to memorize approximately 25 complex orchestral excerpts, advising him to "learn your audition from memory" and "get the right equipment". The Revelation of the Orchestra: His introduction to classical music came from hearing a recording of Maurice Andre, but his first experience playing orchestral music at age 14 with the New Orleans Philharmonic, rehearsing in the "middle of the hood," profoundly impacted his performance perspective. The massive, deep sound of the first chord gave him goosebumps. The Struggle with Jazz Changes: Despite being heralded as a young genius, Marsalis admitted that achieving harmonic comfort and learning to "play on changes" (adjusting improvisational notes to match changing chords) was a significant, long-term challenge, estimating it took him until he was about 28 or 29. The Substance of Education: Marsalis often quotes his mother, who was philosophically strong and insightful, advising him to focus on the "substance of your education," warning that a diploma could be given in "hating yourself". Her views shaped his strong opinions on black culture and representation. Mentorship and Intellectual Foundation: Marsalis attributed his extensive intellectual and artistic education to spending time with figures like Albert Murray, Stanley Crouch, Ralph Ellison, and Romare Bearden. Albert Murray specifically educated him on the value of Duke Ellington's music. The JLCO's Mission: Marsalis recounted asking Dizzy Gillespie for advice about forming the big band, to which Dizzy responded, "One should never consider it an achievement to lose one's orchestral heritage". The JLCO was formed in 1992, combining young musicians with legendary "original Ellingtonians," who taught them discipline and the music's heritage. The Blues as a Fundamental: Marsalis firmly stated that the blues is the bottom line on everything in American root music, serving as a harmonic concept found throughout music from Eastern traditions to Western classical composi Send us Fan Mail Listen to more episodes of Jazz Cruises Conversations on Spotify, iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jazz occupies a special place in the American cultural landscape. It's played in elegant concert halls and run-down bars, and can feature esoteric harmonic experimentation or good old-fashioned foot-stomping swing. Nobody embodies the scope of modern jazz better than Wynton Marsalis. As a trumpet player, bandleader, composer, educator, and ambassador for the music, he has worked tirelessly to keep jazz vibrant and alive. In this bouncy conversation, we talk about various kinds of music, how they might relate to physics, and some of the greater challenges facing the United States today. (This and the next few podcasts were recorded on the road with headset microphones, and the sound quality isn't quite as good, sorry about that.) Hailing from an accomplished New Orleans family, Wynton Marsalis was marked as a prodigy from a young age. He played locally before moving to New York and attend Julliard, and played and recorded with artists such as Art Blakey and Herbie Hancock. He has recorded numerous albums as a leader of small ensembles, big bands, and as a soloist with symphony orchestras. He is a multiple-time Grammy winner and the first to win in both jazz and classical categories in the same year, and in 1997 his oratorio Blood on the Fields was the first non-classical work to win the Pulitzer Prize for music. Marsalis founded and continues to lead Jazz at Lincoln Center, which is in residence at Lincoln Center along with such organizations as the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera, and the New York City Ballet. He has won the National Medal of the Arts and the National Humanities Medal, along with numerous other awards and honorary degrees.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning musician talks about how his new work "the ever-funky lowdown" fits in the current conversation around race and how rap and hip-hop is damaging to that conversation. This interview includes strong language, including the n-word.
