TrumpetMaster - View Single Post - Stravinsky's Guess as to What Jazz Sounded Like

My son and I saw this performed at TCU in Ft. Worth by Wynton Marsalis - he did it straight Stravinsky - then after intermission performed Wynton's Harlem stylized version of it - incredible performance. Still can't believe my son (who was in middle school at the time) - sat through the entire performance. A lot of adults bailed after the first half! And we got to meet Wynton afterwards to cap it off! And if memory serves me right - Ben Vereen was the narrator!
