This week I’ll play the interview and music by both artists, in a number of formats. Wynton Marsalis has had a celebrated career, from being a side man with Art Blakey through a storied set of albums as band leader of Quartet, Quintet, Septet and Orchestra. He’s won Grammies and a Pulitzer and broke ground by rekindling the fire of straight ahead mainstream jazz. Rodney Whitaker is one of the world’s finest bass players. He’s recorded with Roy Hargrove, Terrence Blanchard, Wynton, and numerous other fine musicians. He’s currently the head of MSU’s Jazz Program and plays with the band, The Professors of Jazz. The Lincoln Center Orchestra will be playing this coming Wednesday at the MSU Auditorium. Get your tickets through the Wharton Center Box Office, or check out some free tickets I’ll be giving away on the show Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
