My respect for him as a trumpeter, composer, statesman, musician... person... knows no bounds. If I were to try to name the "best" musician of all time, how could I compare Paco De Lucia and Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mozart and Louis Armstrong and a thousand others? I guess I would name Mr. Marsalis. I was never particularly a fan of Mr. Nelson, but that has changed, thanks to this album. That's what I think, and It Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do.

He is also underrated as a composer. He has written music so unique that he could make duke, Bach, or Mozart jealous. Am I the only one hearing his music? Wynton unbelievable!!!

Wynton is as brilliant and full of mischief as ever but I think the brilliance comes from the combination of all these guys - each playing like the were born to - in communion with spirit-- in this case the Spirit of the BLUES. THANK YOU and LOVE TO YOU ALL. --Heather in Victoria, B.C. I love this music- I wake up at night with Willie’s voice in my head.

Anyway, America is far too gone to endure anything really dangerous creatively. It's stuck in its ever so tiny business and baby making mode, thickening the base of Maslow's hierarchy, but never building anything on top of it. Let's face it, we're hardly a culture of ideas and we're not subtle. We're fodder for the nuclear dabblings of some third world potentate. Enjoy what time remains folks, but listen to Miles. ciao It wouldn’t matter, but for the stranglehold that Wynton and Stanley Crouch currently have, dictating that only imitative conservative approaches are allowed, what Miles Davis would’ve called “dead museum music.” Anyway, America is far too gone to endure anything really dangerous creatively.

Wynton hasn't brought anything to the table of lasting works. He's no Duke Ellington, though I admire his scholarly endeavors. Simply put, he can't come up with a musical idea that is simple and memorable---Willie has and will outlive him in name and deed. Watch and learn the truth of what I've said.
