[Dixielandjazz] To Really Appreciate Louis Armstrong's Trumpet, You Gotta Play it. Just Ask Wynton Marsalis | At the Smithsonian | Smithsonian

Thanks to Pensacola jazzfan Mike Lynch,  here's link to Smithsonian Magazine
article about Armstrong's trumpet, and video clip of  Wynton Marsalis
playing it with a group from Smithsonian museum.  Should be of interest to
most of us on the list.

 

As a humorous aside, our local PBS station has just finished a re-run of the
Ken Burns series on jazz.  Reminded me of all the buzz among my musician and
jazz-fan friends after the original 17 hour series had finished on TV.
Everyone I talked with had his/her own ideas about how it SHOULD have been
presented-obviously different from that of Mr. Burns.  Someone even sent out
a "check-the-box" questionnaire.  One of the boxes was labeled "Too much
Wynton!"  (smile)

 

Thanks, Mike!

 

Norman
