He loves the sound bites! Honestly, people are always astounded by what comes out of Wynton's mouth. He is grossly opinionated and smart. I really do not think that people understand the depth of his intelligence. Wynton Marsalis' role models are of strong, independent thinking individuals. Sometimes people are not comfortable having a Black man speak his mind well. At times we all are unfortunately comfortable with stereotypes of race, ethnicity, or entertainers. Danielle Shaun,

I remember watching that interview on CNN from here in Scotland, and I for one don't feel the transcript conveys the feel of the interview. I got the distinct impression that Larry King initially was quite happy to talk to Wynton Marsalis all day, until that is, Marsalis started getting political, immediately the mood and body language changed, and King couldn't get Marsalis off quick enough, suddenly it was like 'you're a musician - don't do politics - put that trumpet to your mouth' and stop talking'. Am I being unfair to Larry King/CNN? did anyone else see it? Maybe I'm too cynical, what did others think? Keep up the good work, Shaun Craig Yea,
