Dear Old Southland with Wynton Marsalis (Trumpet) & Bob Wilber (Soprano Sax)

Does anyone know what Bob Wilber is doing today?

@1979saxman Bob & his lovely wife Pug live between the UK & The USA, and still spends a lot of time playing shows around the world, this summer he is playing a jazz festival in Norwich in the UK..

This tune sounds like a combination of "Summertime" and "When the Saints go Marching In". I guess you can always hear tunes in others that have the same changes.

Thanks for posting this great footage. I'm a long-time fan of Bob Wilber, and a new fan of Wynton's. I always had a negative taste in my mouth for everything said about (and some by) Wynton about race in/and jazz. This past year, I had the opportunity to work with him a bit, and I found him to be nothing more than an incredibly accomplished player who really KNOWS the music, and who works his ass off. The moral in quasi-parable form: "Do Nothin' 'Til You Hear From Me."
