Wynton called me one night on my cell when I was out listening to a band at a club. (well, his assistant called and told me he wanted to speak with me. Wynton called later when I was back at my apartment alone.) Shocked the hell out of me. We talked for over an hour and he was the most approachable, smart, interesting guy you could imagine. I felt like I should get off the call as soon as I could because, clearly, this was Wynton Marsallis, and surely he was super busy. (he was at a studio in L.A. at the time) But no. We had a great conversation like we'd known each other for years. A remarkable experience.
@@SteveStockmalMusic Sorry. Didn't want to make the post too long. He had a blog online and had written a piece about race and early jazz music in which he mentioned my great uncle Bix Beiderbecke. I wrote a comment to it that apparently caught his eye and he wanted to talk to me about it. Which is pretty cool. As I said, we had a great conversation for longer than I ever thought we would and he later wrote about it on his blog and said he'd taken my points and agreed.

Him- I'm one of the worst horn players in the world, but yeah, lemme just get my bearing on it...lemme just find C. 📯🎶🎵🎶💯 Me- Looks like you found a few NEW notes on there too
That self discipline line got me. I never knew when to stop. I always played injured and never embraced silence. I Couldn’t comprehend stopping as a way of improvement and often suffered the consequences. I wish I thought as a kid as patient as I can now as an adult.
I know we look at a guy like Wynton and think he's a god now but he's just a human who has practiced more hours on a horn than you can even imagine. Add in natural talent and skill and he is who he is. Charlie Parker practiced 15 hours a day for literally 4 years straight just to get noticed. Only a sliver of insight into superhero players like this.
Yes, but Charlie was a great musical innovator who changed just about every saxophone player’s view of his instrument. Wynton, for all his technical skills, is not a musical innovator and he leaves no stylistic (as opposed maybe to raising technical standards) influence behind him.
The trumpet fanfare is "Abblasen" attributed to Gottfried Reiche and used as the theme song to the long-running _CBS News Sunday Morning_ . In 2021, CBS made "Abblasen" the theme for _CBS Mornings_ airing weekdays and Saturday (as _CBS Saturday Mornings_ ).
used to like this guy, but after this video, all the bad language, the way he berated that kid, and Wynton's cocky attitude, I'll never respect him again.
When he asks for questions I would like to ask him (regarding his interview on Ken Burn's Jazz documentary) how he knew what Louis Armstrong was thinking back in the 1920s and 1930s.
I once heard the father Ellis give a concert on tour with an ensemble of younger players. An utter joy and magnificent humble human being. I left the place that evening with a real insight how such a person could be such a teacher giving us such as Wynton, Brandon, and siblings.
So often over looked, but knowing how to March and knowing how to Dance is the essence of Swing! The Fox Trot is a sort of intermediary step, and Latin? If you can't Samba how can you Bossa? Good Call!
My African soul was so confused. Like what kind of music exists that you can't dance to. Literally we don't have the word music in our languages. We use dances to name little musics
@@charliecampbell6851 Some of that music started out as "dances" but for some odd reason Europeans abandoned the traditional dances without forgetting the forms of the music. You can tell by the names given to the different forms.
Literally my FAVORITE part of Sundays as a kid was hearing that trumpet opening. My least favorite part of Sundays as a kid was the beatings.
Yeah they could have added a dope beat to the trumpet opening.

He literally told that one kid that self discipline is what he failed to do by asking what self discipline is. That’s so funny
Yea that was kinda cold lol
That kid probably killed himself. He’s never going to ask a question to anyone ever again.
It’s because he grabbed the microphone and asked a question after they said the time was over
@@simonsays525 Not if he learned what self discipline is.
@@colmanburks5583 I mean what could he expect lol

A little context please...
WHY did he call you in the first place?

Awesome !!!
Long stories are great, especially when they’re THAT good !!!!!!
Hi
@@ChristopherBixWow, Bix was your great uncle! And thanks for asking the question, Steve.
That Sunday Morning opening was amazing. The look up afterward was possibly even better.
Straight gangsta.
"I have access to the entire concept of the blues" im dead bruh
I love that he still answered that kid's question while also calling him out for the slight disrespect.

When he was playing the horn it was interesting to see his pinky moving out of reflex from kicking out his tuning slide
Whenever I go a little out of tune, me to myself "I think that was a W".
And then he laughed a little
Love the navy seal copypasta, nice video
The effort that went into that

There are people who practice hours and hours and will never sound like Wynton Marsalis.
@@GoldinDr How you practice is important.
@@jwmc41 That's hilarious. Wynton doesn't have the influence as Parker...no one does, but he has style and innovations like all greats do.
@@chazmartin5725 And who follows his Inovations?
This is the first time I’ve seen this guy talk
he is usually talking during JLCO concerts, he is pretty good with that as well :D
He talks better than he plays.
Thats surprising considering he talks more than he plays
You need to watch the Ken Burns PBS doc…he’s one of the talking heads
@@honoredutreyI don’t think that’s accurate. He definitely talks MORE than he plays but the guy is clearly a virtuoso
All of it is a joy, but starting at 13:29 I'm simply in awe.
Astonishing versatility. He does EVERYTHING well, including teaching!
BL-ack excellence, baby!
Yessss he gives a good laugh too.
Maximum respect going out to wynton
did this man... really just... pick up a french horn for the first time.. and just start improvising out of nowhere????
I think they said he had been playing french horn in highschool
He had played horn in high school, and there is SOME carry-over from his trumpet skills, but yeah, it was pretty impressive.
"The entire concept of the blues" oh my
St Thomas hits home. I grew up by them projects on Laurel St. “504”👌🏼🎺
“You are nothing to me but another 251” got me good 🤣
Can play donna lee in over 700 ways just with my mouthpiece 😂
The self-discipline part was the most important point made.
I love that look over his shoulder in that first clip...."Yeah....we're done here".....
That New Orleans Jazz bit toward the end melted my soul... I love New Orleans Jazz.
Elmo loves New Orleans Jazz too!
Donna Lee in 700 different ways with just his mouthpiece LMAO!!!!!!!!!
5:32 HOLY SHIT LMFAO
Ends at 7:19 what a masterpiece!
A HAHAHAHA OMG
I need a full transcript
I never knew Wynton has over 300 confirmed licks
The point of his play is clarity. The notes are so clear and precise.
Unless he plays it "dirty", like he did with the Muppets - so cool!
I like that at 0:37 he totally killed the piece but still gives a "how was that?" look at the end.
5:33 god damn what a left turn that was 😂
That Seseme street jam was nice. 😃
'you're noting to me but another II V I' is my new favourite insult
That first venue had the WORST questions jesus
What a legend! Thanks for this compilation.
"I have over 300 confirmed licks..." killed me.
0:31 He have the same gesture as a chef piping choux pastry :)
The whole Marsalis family is unbelievably talented
He is a living legend for sure!
Ive seen JLCO live 4 times now. Every performance is a lesson in music interpretation.
That look he gave after recording the Sunday Morning theme….
I have to stand up for listening such great talent.
I love Marsalis...Branford Marsalis.
Lmao when he made the "what the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?" Copypasta speech I lost my shit
The muppet part is wonderful!
3:27 bro... What?
11:08 he said it so funny he sounded genuinely concerned
LOL "your real book is being traced right now"
1:46 wow, he sounds great on a typewriter!
"if you mess up in a fighter jet, you made a mistake" 😂😂 ..thats all i can tell ya bro 🙏🙏
Saw him play in El Paso. Amazing!
Bravo Zulu Mr. Marsalis!
I look forward to becoming like you someday...
🤓🎺❤️
That ytp part is epic!
Do they use that sound bit for CBS Sunday Morning News?? Love it

I forgot he was on "Sesame Street".
Did you see the way he tuned that honker?
I've heard him speak about Louie Armstrong's genius. All in all he was showing his own genius without even knowing it.
Halfway through the video I laughed so hard !!!! Thanks
wow he really put that kid in his place
yeah I am sure after being put down like that, the kid was inspired to excel and do great things.
used to like this guy, but after this video, all the bad language, the way he berated that kid, and Wynton's cocky attitude, I'll never respect him again.
@@3RTracing Wynton is the antithesis of humble
That tune at the end was 🔥🔥🔥
Me: 🙂
Winton plays classical trumpet
Me: 🧐
The muppets jam was class
A legend for 15 minutes? He’s a legend 24 hours a day!
Ayo that’s my old band director at 2:22 lol
He came to my school and did a full clinic and I got to meet him personally
This is the first time I've ever wanted to use the clip feature on UA-cam and I can't
The mouthpiece you use looks different. What is it?
That edit was Sus.
Man Thanks to You Tube Man This is Timeless so valuable Thank You!

just look up CBS Sunday morning trumpet
5:33🎙(Best Part)
8:45-The Prior Tune Was Just A Mere Taste of My Power
Sound like my daddy .. If bad music was being heard he'd say. " this will never replace entertainment I'm sure
Holy shit that navy seals edit 😭😭🤣🤣
Mans got his freshness.
Amazing sound
Is that for the Morning TV News... 🌅
Anyone know the name of the song he plays with the sesame street muppets, or is it an original composition for the show?
Man’s built different, I swear he’s a robot
Haha!... Entertaining. You've got lots of RAM... very intricate .'-)
One of the greatest, if not the greatest, trumpet player of all time. Legend!!! Such an intelligent person. Icon. ❤️❤️
Shows how important it is to grow up with a dad in the house.
i haven't made it until i've made it to sesame street.
Telly Monster trying to find "the brown note."
Good to see Jim from The Office at 2:20ish.
I met him sometime during October. He told me I reminded him of his son lolol
I met this man.
what a fucking legend. saw him when i was a teenager with my Dad and it blew me away ps hilarious video cheers haha
0:08 that's Haydn or Abbleion
Abblasen is
@@spiroskakias651 thank you it's a hard word to pronounce and spell but you're right either way Wynton is a genius
