Wynton on the March issue of Atlantic On line

February 27, 2003  - Articles, Interview

“I’ve always tried to be respectful of my audience. I always sign people’s autographs, always acted like I was working for them. I try to play people’s requests, try to come up with a way of playing that I thought people would want to listen to—never thought I was above them. I’m here to do a job. I always try to be professional, and many times, in halls across the country, I’m the last one to leave—all the crews are gone.”

Excerpt from the March 2003 issue. Read the full article on The Atlantic on line
