Let me begin by saying that you are incredable; i know you've heard this 8 billion times, but its true. I am 15 and play the trumpet in my highschool band, but my dad is a long time "wanna-be jazzer" from college, and now plays for fun with me and my brother in our basement. (My brother plays set, and my dad piano, and sax) We mess around with loads of music, my favorite, on trumpet, is Mood Indigo, and your take on it is what i try to base mine upon. Improvisation is amazing, it gives me so much control and freedom, and i just can't get enough of it, kind of weird coming from a white teenage boy, i know, but i just love your music, and what you do with it. I just stumbled on this site, and decided i'd entertain myself by saying i "wrote wynton" But i'm sure you get this all the time. Keep it FREE man- Nate I know the ACTUAL Wynton Marsalis won’t reply or probably even get this, but hey, its worth some fantasy of mine.

I was reading the liner notes from the Marciac Suite CD for the 4th time today. I'm certain this year's festival will be an absolute success as well. By the way, I also like "The Feelin' of Jazz" you did with Dianne Reeves - it reminds me of the Dakota Staton and Jonah Jones collaborations. Music like that will always cause the doves to fly back home. Much continued success, Beverly Joy Douglas Waterloo, IA formerly of New York, NY Bon Jour Wynton!
