WYNTON MARSALIS

Wynton Marsalis is an internationally acclaimed musician, composer,
bandleader, educator and a leading advocate of American culture. He
is the world’s first jazz artist to perform and compose across the full
jazz spectrum from its New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz.
Jon Batiste is a New Orleans-bred, New York-based musician,
educator, and humanitarian, and the new band leader of “The Late
Show with Stephen Colbert.” The two discuss the genius of jazz
with Walter Isaacson.

This conversation and performance was recorded at the
2015 Aspen Ideas Festival on Saturday, July 4, 2015.

The original was regarded to have transcended from the West to the
East and this tribute absolutely manages to do so! What a tribute
and proof that when the East and West compliment rather than
compete, there is no limit to what we can achieve! Make #jazz not
war! For all things Sachal Jazz follow at https://twitter.com/Khanese.
