Video: Wynton and Sandra Day O’Connor discuss jazz music and government
Last January, at JALC, Wynton and The Honorable Sandra Day O’Connor filmed short clips discussing the relationship between the U.S. government and jazz music. The result was broadcast on Martin Luther King Day during Jazz at Lincoln Center’s “Let Freedom Swing!” concert in Washington D.C., on January 19, 2009. Following you can watch the clips, entitled: Democracy, Unity and American Art…

So cool!!!! I’m so glad to be alive at the same time as Wynton Marsalis!!! The history of music would be so incomplete without the contributions of this giant of a man!!!

Wynton is simply an icon. Not just a jazz icon or an American icon but a world icon. Swing on!!!

We applaud Wynton for his staunch support for the arts.
I have been comparing the jazz ensemble and the way in which it produces some of the most adventurous music through it’s “give and take” approach to a perfect example of true democracy for a number of years. Listening and then responding to what is going on around you is one of the first things that we teach our students, one cannot emphasis this point enough………
