John, don't know if it already happened, but glad for you both. Enjoy every second of it...

Nice of your son an' all, but for me Wynton has been a polarising and negative influence on jazz the past 30 years and while there's no doubting his instrumental command I don't think anyone has the right to trash major figures in the music the way he has over the years.

Hope you enjoy it though.

Hi Alan

Just reading your post. It's not that I agree or disagree with you. Can't say that I followed much of Wynton Marsalis. But I was just curious about what you meant. Were you talking about his attitude toward other musicians in general ? Or toward jazz ? The way he plays it ? Once I heard an album he did on T. Monk. Must say I liked his arrangements. Don't like his New Orleans stuff though.

Best of all and hope your day is a nice one

Pierre
