Wynton Marsalis " Django" (1984)

...uninspiredly boring !

[weskoki]

Is this Wynton playing? Hm...not his best record i gess

[brinham6]

I understand Wynton's point of view on this. I found the late music of Miles inaccessible...my shortcoming, I guess. But I hear a great deal of the earlier Miles in Wynton's work.

1 person is a bass clarinet player..

One thing that strikes me as odd about this is that despite Wynton's apparent dislike of Miles Davis, to me, there are a few obvious hints at Sketches of Spain.

@Apopholis Good point, I definitely hear this too. Although I didn't think Wynton disliked Miles; I just thought it was true the other way round. Surely it's difficult for any modern trumpeter NOT to be influenced by Miles?

[TheFantasticCorndog]

@Apopholis Yeah, it's sketches of spain+tonality

[SuperYouGerT]

@Apopholis he used to listen to miles a lot. When asked in an interview when he was younger he said that he listened to old miles, but I think when miles started saying he was full of sh** wynton kinda disliked him, but still, miles was an influence.

@Apopholis I think Wynton hated the fact that Miles started doing Fusion stuff, and Wynton really dint think that was the music that someone of Miles caliber should be playing. So I think he though it was degrading to Jazz.

This was my first Wynton jazz album, got it on casette and played the heck out of it. This is my favorite track off it, timeless!

God, I really love those powerful high notes.
