Anybody see Wynton on Colbert Report last night?


Recommended Posts

My wife and I met Wynton backstage before an April, 1982 concert in Madison, Wisconsin, when I interviewed him for the Daily Cardinal (University of Wisconsin student newspaper).

Her comment when she saw this Colbert show: "Boy, is he full of himself. And he's really become heavy. Now his head looks like a pumpkin."

As I watched Colbert, I thought that it would be nice if Wynton had more of a light touch, was more likeable and engaging on TV. Since he seems to get most of the very rare opportunities for a jazz artist to appear on TV in the U.S., if his personality was more like, say, Barack Obama's, ijust to pick out a random example, it might actually be positive for jazz.
