Woody Shaw and went on and Branford
Marsalis we're going to hear Wynton and

00:17:05
Branford working with Art Blakey in the
Jazz Messengers after we get some thoughts

00:17:10
from whence in about Mr Blaikie his great
teacher here on jazz America this is for

00:17:16
the folks around the world that would love
to be able to hang with Wynton Marsalis

00:17:20
in just a couple of minutes of
doing just that and and this is

00:17:23
a very nice time in your life
is it not winter because

00:17:26
a lot of great things to celebrate at this
point in their shores no complaints you

00:17:31
know I get e-mail from all over the world
it's an astounding thing and so many of

00:17:36
the younger people are writing me saying
I love jazz I want to be I want to be

00:17:40
a jazz musician I want to be involved in
a kind of makes me remember that what

00:17:45
a lot of people have said about you I
can't tell you how many times people have

00:17:48
said remember when Leonard Bernstein did
the concerts for kids and the end when

00:17:52
thousands doing the same
thing that's got to be

00:17:55
a really good feeling to know that that
you're keeping the ball rolling to

00:17:58
a certain extent and I'd
like for you to kind of give

00:18:00
a thought to those. If they're listening
out there those young people the semi goes

00:18:03
email saying I want to study jazz I want
to learn more about jazz this is an

00:18:06
important thing to us and it
went on Well it is my fault as

00:18:09
a jazz musician he is he's

00:18:11
a teacher and I was always around the music
I've always tried to be accessible to

00:18:15
the younger musicians I was
fortunate enough to go on

00:18:18
a role when I was 18. What are Blake
in there what Herbie Hancock and then

00:18:23
ultimately with my own group and I always
have kids coming in band Rector's bring

00:18:27
their kids and I'm always trying to do
workshops and be be around around kids in

00:18:33
just be a part of shaping of the
world a day into but they also do

00:18:37
a lot to shape the world I'm in you know
you mention our play key and I'm going to

00:18:41
be doing that I have so many folks I've
talked to that that went to the University

00:18:46
of Hart Blakey and I read

00:18:48
a comment or something I think some time
from you that something along the lines of

00:18:52
you would not you feel like you would not
have embraced jazz as deeply as you have

00:18:56
if you had never met and worked with him
is that something close to what that quote

00:19:00
might we have said I would have been but
I am braced but I would have learned how

00:19:03
to play it because not to play you have
to be on the bandstand. It's not in the

00:19:08
practice room you know it's not some
consider the workout in your house and Art

00:19:13
Blakey to you. The word I get
is that it was basically

00:19:17
a situation of here I go if you can jump
in here and hang with me then good luck

00:19:22
and he was like a sacrificial hero

00:19:24
a sacrificial here he was sacrificed his
swing for you to learn I. Come to New York

00:19:30
and here thank you man

00:19:31

there so I went right around the corner

00:42:07
to slugs in the bins and a great scene a
fantastic but it was new piano there was

00:42:14
a guy sitting up at the piano Anyways
I'm playing so I used to sling out for

00:42:20
a minute. But he wasn't he just wasn't
playing so I'm tired I want to hear this

00:42:26
and to the piano I just walked up and asked
him if I could play and he said yes.

00:42:33
So anyway I'm. Not to the end of this
then in the end he desired me and it was.

00:42:41
You know how long was that relationship
