An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician

80.____________________    
There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took die time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school.
81.____________________|
Yes. We've done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven't maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven't been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of die people who make it in die music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn't make it in today's music industry, and that's a shame. We need to teach young people about die alternatives.
82._____________________
Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like die cadence of their language. I'd call it folk music. When I'm away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what's on the radio.
83._____________________
The same music is on the radio all over die world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even die pop music that's produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I'm not interested in hearing recycled versions of die same genre over and over. Any music that doesn't have a development section just isn't interesting to me.
84.____________________
The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don't cover it unless it's a big name. New jazz musicians don't get much of break. A lot of editors don't say anything about jazz these days unless it's Marsalis. That's a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save die Music campaign is phenomenal. They're getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It's die kind of thing all networks should be doing.
