  | Wynton Controversy Hey all I was over at one of the other trumpet forums (don't hate me please, I haven't been there in a very long time). I came across a thread about Wynton. The question was, "Is Wynton considered to be a Jazz giant" or something along those lines. I read it early this morning and after reading some of the responces it was easy for me to come up with a few choice words on the subjet. The whole thing just got my blood going! I had to share the opinionated thread with all of you! So I guess I now pose this question to you, though mine is not "IS Wynton a jazz giant" but rathar "Do you think he is a jazz giant". I have my own opinions which I won't bother re-writing here. The short answer for me is "he may not be a GIANT when it comes to jazz but I would consider him to be a jazz musician". Let's get a little controversy going! http://www.trumpetplayeronline.com/x...d.php?tid=4866 Eric |

How many other human beings with not only talent for playing trumpet (yes of all styles) also has won the musical composers P-Prize for "Blood on the Fields" AND ONE AMAZINGLY GIFTED JAZZ MUSICAN. I am adorning my BRASS-FLACK-JACKET on this very moment when I shall proclaim: WYNTON MARSALIS, at this moment in time is..... THE "DUKE ELLINGTON OF THIS CENTURY!" | |

If we are to draw comparsions, I feel that Wynton is more like the Leonard Bernstein of our generation than Duke Ellington. Ph, could you provide us with specific criterion for judging someone a jazz giant? Last edited by dizforprez : 10-26-2006 at 01:38 PM. | |

| When it comes down to it - musicians do not get to decide who is knighted a jazz giant. Our wonderful media channels, backed by corporate muscle, will bestow that honor. My thoughts are along the lines of - Wynton is Wynton. Read between the lines... there are very few musicians in the world that can truly fall into the elite category of being their own entity. I do not believe Wynton is the Duke Ellington of this century; he's the Wynton Marsalis of this century. ...and man, what a killin' trumpeter!! -Kelly |

| I don't know - have you ever heard Doc play classical? It's at least as good as Wynton. Have you ever heard Wynton play "Doc-style" stuff? I think Doc wins. He just hasn't been hyped by the media. But, Wynton is no slouch, either. |
