Marsalis: master teacher

I have been listening to several Wynton Marsalis videos these past weeks; not just his Jazz at Lincoln Center sets, but this Skain's Domain series of talks and interviews. Marsalis is so articulate, intelligent, intense, and tender that he cultivates an amazing cadre you young performers whose relationship with him goes well beyond musical instruction.

This video reflects the thoughtful, respectful, and inspired dialogue that he carries on with his students about their thoughts concerning their role as artists during the pandemic.

I learned a lot from these young people. Give a listen to the young man at about the 24:00 mark.
