Wow!! These lucky kids will never forget this beautiful moment. How fortunate they were! In mere seconds - likely all of them never having heard this (North American) popular refrain - are right in there with their hearts and souls and bodies. The arts will help save the world yet...thank you Wynton.
A parte de ser un exelente musico de un nivel descomunal , es una gran persona con mucha humildad gracias señor wynton por hacernos felices a todos , saludos desde venezuela !!!!
I can tell you that the ability and the intuition to clap on two and four has nothing to do with ones Race. If a song or a piece of music has a strong back beat, such as the one Wynton Marsalis played for these kids, you will naturally want to clap on two and four.
Doesn't have anything to do with race but I think many south and west african traditional beats involve a strong emphasis on 2 and 4 which in turn translated to jazz.
Somebody started them off by snapping on 2 but either way, they got the feel of it quickly. I think a lot of folks would, you just gotta feel the back beat and it’s strong here. My students pick up on it pretty quickly, too. I think it’s a kid thing, too.
I agree that it has nothing to do with race, in that there's obviously no genetic predisposition to feeling a rhythm. However I think there is a cultural element, because the way they feel the beat seems to be very natural and as an aspiring jazz musician, a white, Canadian one, I can say I had to learn to feel the music this way.
Daaaaaaamn, kids knew to clap on 2 and 4! That’s awesome.
I love the way kids react to him playing, 12 bar blues is so simple yet so effective

2/4 beat is old, old, West African musical heritage, the various American interpretations are just that.

Wynton Marsalis I look you like louise Armstrong I wanna be like
Washington, DC needs Wynton Marsalis today. Wynton Marsalis should play #SOULpower with @mcbridesworld.
lol at the chick in the back right corner dancing
Totally!!!
@simonfetthol haha so true!!!
Did he teach them to clap on 2 and 4, or do black people just know to do that?
i dont think its a black thing its more of being able to find the pattern in the music which doesnt have anything to do with skin color.
That kid is so uninterested in such talent. Shame.
I loved it!!!
