i dont think anyone has done more to promote jazz the last 20-30 years than Wynton. Always seems like a class act and great player.

you sir have good taste. He is a fantastic musician from a fantastic musician family and like RIJ said a true ambassador of that genre of music. I saw that and it was awesome especially the part in Cuba. I am really kicking myself for not taking in his concert with that band this year. I was going to go but forgot. I really enjoy that band, sound, a lot. My pod is loaded with his stuff, solo albums to Lincoln stuff. I have followed a few of the Lincoln musicians over the years. Cyrus Chestnut is a fantastic piano player and has several really good albums out . Worth a listen.

I overheard that he stuck his head in a joint down in Provincetown and ask if he could jam with a few guys while on vacation.

The waitress called her husband who was home and filmed the session on her cell phone
