Video: Wynton explaining “West End Blues” and the “Big Four”
As you know, on 2001 Wynton served as a senior creative consultant for the documentary “Jazz”, with filmmaker Ken Burns.
The film, divided into a series of 10 episodes, was broadcasted on PBS, and was released on DVD later that year by the same company.
In the following video-clips from the series, Wynton helps us to understand Louis Armstrong’s solo on “West End Blues” and the “Big Four” in New Orleans Jazz.

Hola Wynton,debo felicitarte por tan grandioso talento musical,y tambien me gustó bastante tu crítica hacia el hip-hop. Espero que algún día los raperos se den cuenta que esa ‘música’ no es agradable a los ojos de Dios.
Wynton,espero muy pronto tu visita por Colombia,que es el pais donde yo vivo y además es muy bonito.
Me gustaría que tocaras el concierto para trompeta de Hummel en la trompeta ¡RAJA SAMADHI!
Att: Carlos,tu admirador y posible siguiente sucesor de la trompeta.
