Hmmm. Well thank you Mr. Marsalis. They only thing we may disagree on is that a statue of Robert E. Lee is not damaging. But, I'm an old white guy so...........

There goes Wynton Marsalis excusing slavery.
Or is he trying to slam Kanye West?

I’ve caught his Jazz For Young People show a few times and listened to the whole thing.
Musically illiterate me got a lot from it.
I have 0 musical ability.

I love jazz and R&B but rap is crap.

How is it damaging?

“My words are not that powerful. I started saying in 1985 I don’t think we should have a music talking about niggers and bitches and hoes. It had no impact. I’ve said it. I’ve repeated it. I still repeat it." The first I'm hearing of this, I guess the media doesn't report it much. Good for him.

I have Wynton Marsalis’s Loved One album. I put it on when we have a party at the house. If you want a mellow mood, that’s the way to get it.

No more “damaging” than street name, statues, and tributes etc to Malcolm X, AC Powell, and certain liars, adulterers, race baiters, whoremongers, and plagiarists

My guess is he doesn’t think Robert E. Lee’s statue is damaging either. But he gets his audience’s view of it. So fantastic to have him speak out on this issue.

I knew I liked him for more than his trumpet playing.
I’ve been watching over and over again a video of him playing “Sheik of Araby” in 2009 and it is quintessential American jazz. Just fantastic.

Thank you for the FYI on this. I just started teaching two new sections of Music Appreciation online this week. I have placed the Post link in both classes (with the necessary language warnings, etc.; the boss will be OK with the Post but probably would not be with CNS). It will be interesting how the students, most of whom are nurses going for their BSN, react.
