I'm like the interviewer - always liked it but never really knew what was going on. Thanks for posting this. The recording of Wynton explaining “Knoz-Moe-King” is priceless.

The tempo of the trumpets emerges here from within a relation of timing between two of the other instruments in the previous few phrases. I didn't hear this until about the 250th time that I listened to the song, and I only heard it when I listened in New Orleans. Tsotsobi, that sounded perfect to me, impeccable in it's composition (that's always the word that I use) when I listened to it in Ghana. Strange that geographical location can impact the way I hear a piece. Interview part 1:

The interview was amazing! I was so excited to see two of my favorite musicians discussing the music in such detail. Every word was interesting. For Wynton to give over four hours to this interview is another example of his generosity and dedication to the music. I was surprised then to read Iverson's subsequent editorial entitled " The 'J' Word", which is not linked to here (you can find it by searching for 'Do the Math'). In this essay, Iverson fails to give Wynton his due respect when not with him face-to-face. Wynton deserves more respect than this. If not for Wynton visitin thousands of high schools over the past 30 years, jazz would have fewer young listeners today, which equals fewer people buying Ethan Iverson's CDs and concert tickets.
