[SonicGem5]

Is it just me or does he sound better with this horn than with his Monette ??

[Sasch5891]

Thank you for uploading this. It's always comforting to see someone who is not only a genius, but also is aware that he represents a culture and makes it part of his genius to represent that culture accurately and defend it in such nobility.

6:20 "SHUT UP!"

[peytonjmusic]

i love how the teacher was like rearing that kid out for slowing down. lol

[regeface]

Is he double tonguing at 1:10?

[MCalixte89]

Now that I think about it, I wonder why Keith Jarrett doesn't like Mr. Marsalis. He say's he is "unoriginal". I don't think so, he is very talented

NICE, Had this on videotape



[PalabraViva3]

Wynton sounds 95% the same on this horn than from his Monette! That reminds me that I don't need a Monette...I just WANT ONE! LOL

[shoegazer666]

@PalabraViva3 No, not really. I'm not a trumpet player and I can still hear the huge difference in tone. His technique was always superb, though.

[somedude8403]

Too nice. I need this on DVD

[screamintrumpet3]

The Man. Thanks for sharing this.

[ArbourParq]

Greta docco, but it's easy to see why he's hated as much as he is loved!!

[JazzyZenBrotha]

This was an excellent documentary. It should be released on DVD. But either way, I'm glad you shared it with us on youtube.
