Willie did that Stardust record so this is not new territory for him at all. He has a great knack for the great American songbook. He is one of the more versatile country musicians of his time. He can play anything.
-
What a wonderful music. And I agree with the poster who mentioned Wynton's horn. When he gets a dirtier tone going , that's time to get happy.
-
This album is fucking amazing!!! Wynton's playing is so dirty sounding it's delicious!!
-
I have both, the CD and the DVD, and I have to tell you it was a very interesting experience to see them both to play Jazz. Willie was able to convert his style into Jazz, and the result was fantastic. I really recommend. If it was for the money or not, it really doesn't matter, the result was excellent!

sounds like money... like in "a quick buck"...
-
The combination makes perfect sense. Willie's always had a bit of jazz when he improvises, and they're playing songs that are more dependent on great melodies than on being married to jazz, country, blues, etc.
That's why Willie's reggae album worked, when in your head it sounds like a terrible idea.
-
I don't get Jazz because I think Wynton Marsalis is a great musician who mostly makes boring records? I think that's a pretty uncontroversial statement.

Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli?
a 5 piece band with just 3 guitars, 1 contrabass and a violinist/fiddler, tell me that ain't similar to country!

Louis Armstrong, who is credited with inventing modern jazz, made several records with Jimmy Rogers, who is credited with inventing modern country music. Bob Wills routinely played Duke Ellington and Count Basie songs onstage. Bela Fleck has made a bunch of records mixing bluegrass and jazz. Ray Charles made records of country songs using big band arrangements.
I can do this all day.

Willie says it all!! " Some music encompasses it all and what do you call that?" I call it great music. And that is what this collaboration is...nothing more...nothing less.
