I am so grateful to Wynton and the team for these podcasts. I teach music in London and i have found the podcasts so helpful in teaching my classes on early jazz. Thank God for Mr Marsalis, the team and all your work.
Much appreciated

You state: (Quicktime 7 is required to view the video clips - Right-click on the link if you want to save them on your computer from this page. If you are using Internet Explorer, be sure to save the file with the .m4v original extension and not .mov, because IE automatically changes it).
But how? I’m a little computer illiterate and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it.
Any (very detailed) help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks…

Dear Doron,
Do you have Quicktime 7 ? (It’s required to play the videos)
If not, please download it from Apple. It’s free.
Do you download our videos using iTunes ?
We advise to do it. It’s the easiest method to download and catalogue them.
About Internet Explorer, we wrote that message because of a problem with that browser only.
If you use Internet Explorer to download the videos (using right-click, and saving on your hard disk) it automatically changes the original files extension from .m4v to .mov
With the .mov extension, the video will not play.
Be sure to change the file extension from .mov to .m4v when you have finished to download the file.
As I said, this problem is due to a bug of Internet Explorer only.
Please use FireFox or other browsers to avoid any problem. They will never change the file extension.

Dearest Soul in the form of Wynton,
you’re really great! As a tenor saxophone student since some twenty years (you never stop to learn, isn’t it?) I’m afraid I’m still playing Now’s The Time too straight and we all know It Don’t Mean A Thing (…); I very much appreciate your clear, if albeit ‘interruptus’ by the translations, sketch about the origins of ‘jazz’ music, and your deep as always insight in styles and tempos; since I’m still lost in the labyrinth of harmony, and stumbling in and out of rhythm, I found very helpful you’re shedding this swinging bright light on us all!

I would like to echo the above remarks of Kenny. I also teach music, and my students are well aware of Wynton. This is another fine example of Wynton’s many contributions to music education. No one has inspired me to teach and made me want to play my horn more than Mr. Marsalis.
Many thanks to the team for this and all of the other fantastic content on this website!
Best Wishes
Phillip

This is an informative and expertly presented masterclass. It’s wonderful how Wynton presents some complex musical topics in readily accessible ways. Highlighting the fundamentals can help musicians at any stage of development.
Thank you for sharing these videos and all of the beautiful music en francais! I’ll echo Phillip by commenting that Luigi has done an outstanding job expanding the content of this site!

Just a quick question.
How does Wynton appear not to breathe during long solos.
Does he :-
a) just not breathe
b) snatch very quick undetected breaths
c) master the art of circular breathing( as in didgerydoo playing)
Thanks
Gael
