I, too, still write letters and even have personalized stationery and even "proper" calling cards (not business card size but the types ladies would sometimes carry). In any case, Wynton seems to be such an old soul. It's so nice to see that in men these days. And yes, jazz infuses everything; it is always already related to everything bc jazz is no less than life itself...our lived and imagined experiences captured in sound. And you dear Sonalli with a fluttering heart? You make me smile...I remember the days when my heart fluttered and I did not think the motion worthy of a visit to my practitioner.

Most artistic types I know feel this way and apparently Wynton is no exception. I like how he acknowledges it takes more than just talent to achieve your success and how individual contributions are key to that goal. It is also interesting how jazz plays such an important role in his everyday dealings. His steadfast passion of jazz is encouraging to anyone pursuing any artistic endeavors. It seems to touch every facet of his life. It would be interesting to sit in on a rehearsal and see that driving force at work.
