About 20 years ago Wynton did a U.K tour. One of my jazz pupils went to one concert and managed to meet Wynton after the show and Wynton told him if he came to the next one he’d give him a free lesson. My pupil duly turned up before the concert in Bournemouth I think. Wynton gave him a 45 minute free lesson on stage. He got the venue to tell the crowd waiting outside that there was a technical problem so the show would start late!
Aditya Mudugal . Thank you - I just tracked down my old student. He lived in a pretty run down area - went to university and now a very successful optometrist, working in the same town as well.
It is a wonderful thing to hear of such kindness from anyone but from someone of stature in their field it seems we hear of the negative. Not everyone is so self absorbed. Hats off to Mr. Marsalis. A friend of mine from Naw-Arlins played trombone (slide or valve? Can't recall.) and sat under Marsalis Sr. when he came into a local school and shared his knowledge. Peace.
Yes Siree 🙏🏽👍🏾.... Melody is King ... Melody is Message .... Scales are like an ocean ..., Melody is a certain Pathway & Navigation taking a listener towards a certain direction which is a Song .
Pandemic got me feelin blue in the mornin; Pandemic got me feelin blue at night; Pandemic got me feelin blue in the mornin; Pandemic got me feelin blue at night; I listen to Wynton play; I know things will be alright.
Marc Depalma - so true. He just oozes music from every pore. Such a wealth of wisdom, and such a gentle manner, makes us feel 'I can do it' enough to relax and be brave!
In the first two minutes this man made me think that he was going to talk 11 times but he always ended up playing more. Clarely he is in love with blues
22 minutes. Just 22 minutes is all it took for Wynton to present this fabulous class on the blues. Wynton you are not only one of the best players ever, but teachers as well. Thanks for this.
Thank you, Wynton! This is a beautiful lesson. I am a trumpet player and middle school band director in Fresno, California. My students first learn the blues and improvisation in my class. This lesson will be a tool for me to use in my lessons. Plus, it is an excellent example of a master musician talking about fundamentals. I can't wait to show my students a video of you playing and then show them this lesson. You give a lot in these few minutes, but how you break up your lesson can be used like structured concept modules. Students can spend an extended time on each part to get comfortable, and as progress is made through the other concepts, they can revisit past sections to further develop their skills. It even can be used as a daily routine. This is really great! Thank you for taking the time to do this, and thank you for your heart of passing on the blues and the art form to others.
I noticed the same thing. When she was 11 and taking music classes, my daughter adored Wynton Marsalis. I took her to a Concert, in the middle of week, after I had gotten off work, driving in the rain. We were able to meet him briefly, after the Concert. I will never forget his graciousness to a little, adoring girl. If Wynton's conduct is an example of his Father, Mr Ellis Marsalis was a remarkable and Gentle Man.
What a glorious era We live in! I've just started playing trumpet today, and I've already had my first lessons... by Wynton Marsalis and Charlie Porter! :D
...hope your journey is filled with happiness because, as we all know, there is no end to music. I speak as a self-learner who cannot read but is determined to play the trumpet 'fluently'.
OMG i had a very lesson with on of my hero's ! How cool is that, what a privilege that i can watch this ! Im so grateful for This !! Thank You Wynton !!
Muchas Gracias Maestro Marsalis. First time I heard/read about you was 1984 in Venezuela, when I was 21 yo aspiring piano student. Magazine article talked about you being a virtuoso Classical trumpet player. I went to the record store and asked my cool friend (the clerk) which Marsalis classical record they had at the moment. "Brah, you're looking in the wrong section. He's a Jazz cat. Check this out. This is dope shit man". And he handed me the cover of "Black Codes from the Underground" while he put the record on the store's turntable and cranked up the volumen. And just like that, my life changed. Gracias again Wynton. You're a blessing in this chaotic world.
Priceless! Just Priceless! Of value? Wow! A year study right here! You can do so much from just this! Thank you! Thank you, thank you!!! For sharing with us!!! This means so much!!!
This video should be played in every elementary school around the world or to anybody whose either starting out or wants to understand blues coming from different backgrounds The brilliant Mr W Marsalis. This lesson should be mandatory musical education.
My very first instrument, Bb trumpet, was at 66 years old, to play Taps at Veterans funerals. Now after a couple years of lessons with my man, MANNY LAURIZNO, I'm starting to improvise and learn how blues and jazz work. So much fun stuff to learn in so little time. Mr. MARSALLIS, I hope your life will allow you to continue sharing these videos as they are fun and so helpful
Dear Mr. Marsalis, I want to thank you for helping make jazz and the blues more accessible than anyone since Mr. Armstrong. Because of your love for these musical forms, my children and I have learned to love the complexities and the history of this music. We have always loved the sound and richness of the blues, but you have given us history, musical understanding and techniques to better hear, create and enjoy this music. Thank you.
My goodness! What an Awesome teacher!! He has inspired me to learn how to play the piano!!! He said it! He demonstrated/played it! Then he repeated what he taught! In less than 30 minutes, the master taught me more about the Blues than I ever knew; and I lived in New Orleans for 25 years@ Guess I didn't have an ear to hear! Thank you so much!!
I have read and watch many videos on learning the blues and couldn't believe that in less than 2 min with your teaching i have the forms ingrain in my brain without thinking of a way to memorise it. thanks thanks thanks
Boy, you look like your daddy here...the same expression and everything. I miss him so much. Nothing like a Friday night at Snug Harbor. This has motivated me to start back playing the piano. Thanks so much for this Wynton.
It has been a pleasure, Mr Marsalis. Thanks so very much from an old lady. Finally, I understand the 12 bar blues, the I, IV, V Chords, and how the fit into the situation.
Thank you Mr Marsalis! What an EXCELLENT lesson. I’m gonna show all my students and future students this video, because when the master breaks it down for you in a simple and fun way to understand ... it doesn’t get any better than that! With gratitude and thanks from Japan!
This rhythm here ...thats the blues. That scale there ...thats the blues. These chords here ...thats the blues. When Wynton says “the blues” ...THATS the blues! Thanks legend ...you’ve been my hero for many many years and this lesson is priceless to keeping the tradition alive
I’ve been a New Orleans jazz clarinet player since 1980, I’ve played countless blues over the years you would think this would bore me, it didn’t I watched it to the end!
Thank you very much... I have been playing for about 53 years but I don't think that I ever heard a better breakdown of the blues form. I truly loved your Dad. I miss him every day. I am so very sorry for your loss.
This is as close as I will ever get to sitting in a room and taking a private lesson with you! This was wonderful! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this Mr. Marsalis
Love how you build the simplicities bit by bit, giving us the essence with so many useful truths (the train shuffle and whistle, where the 3 chords fit into the 12 bar form, how the response gets more time than the call (making it more democratic in nature to let the "people" respond to the caller, how the first two parts speak of the woes and worries but the last part gives us hope or how to turn sadness into solace, how to improvise and bend the notes) --- I want to run to my piano and moan and rasp and cry and rejoice and let my feelings fly... with the Blues. You are a master musician and a master teacher! Thank you, Wynton and G-d Bless! --- Carol Worthey
At the beginning, every time you looked at the camera, I thought you were about to start talking ... and then you kept playing. You've faked me out about 10 times already. haha!! I didn't know you had a TH-cam channel. What a privilege it is to see and hear and learn from you.
AWESOME 🎵🎵 WYNTON MARSALIS DID A GREAT JOB ENCAPSULATING THE BLUES IN A VERY SHORT SPAN OF TIME BRAVO ♥️🎵 P.S.: I would love to see the MAESTRO do a presentation with Cornell West. 👍🇺🇸🎵
I started playing Blues in 1968 and loved it because it was not played the same way twice, and still always fresh. The way you related it to a Train was great! And the way you said it is played to make one feel better about ones condition is what I forgot about. And the way you deconstructed it to the molecular level could only be done by a scholar of the Blues. Your teaching style is nice and relaxed, and concise. Thank you for this video, totally cool! If there is 1 good thing to come out of this Corona virus thing, it is, with technology, the opportunity and honor, to communicate to the great Wynton Marsalis, amazing!!!
Thank you!!! Master!! It's very generous of your part to share All your knowledge with us and with such humbleness... I always remember you when for God`s grace I met you in person in Colombia, Bogotá and you even let me play your trumpet back stage... I wil, now start to learn this lesson by heart .. How could I forget you? God bless you for ever..
Beautiful dear brother... I appreciate you...and all of your contributions... It was a privilege and a blessing to have a birthday of your music. I loved how you took time out to bless a young musician..Awesome Fluker
Thank you sir! This brings back great memories of the workshop you did with our Jazz band at Denison University in 1996. You gave me some improvising tips and then had me play (my tenor sax) for you. Will never forget your words: "Now that's one hip solo you just played there". I hope you and your family are staying healthy.
Been following you for years. I thought your contribution to Ken Burns Jazz was immense and read somewhere that it was your idea for him to do it in the first place. I loved that series.

I dunno... I kind of disagree with some of the things in the documentary. For one, it ignores decades of history, doesn't include much of Miles Davis, and keeps a definition of jazz very rigidly, stopping basically in 1959. As great as it is, much of the history is forgotten, especially by ignoring Miles Davis, because he and Wynton had beef.
Thank you so much for sharing this Mr. Marsalis. This is one of the happiest 30 minutes I’ve had since March 16. So informative, educational (not the same as informative), fun, and hopeful. A way through this mess to express feelings. Thank you. Thank you. Julie Harrison
Thank you so much Wynton. Just sat down and showed my 2yr old. He was mesmerized. My mom played organ in church and tried to teach me when I was young but I never had much interest until I was older. I hope I can support my little guy to have fun and learn to play while he’s growing up.
thank you Mr. Marsalis. Even though I thought I knew a lot of what you said, you put it together in the right context, and I am inspired not just to play blues in a fresh way, but to write songs now! I also keep thinking that the blues structure is so fundamental that it is the basis for folk, country, jazz and rock.
You talent in playing the trumpet; your excellent knowledge of music and musicianship has been an inspiration too me since 1980. I started playing the cornet in 1966, a gift from my father Samuel Lee Evans.
Man, I got the blues. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Marsalis after a Duke University concert years ago. One of the most memorable moments of my life. Thanks.
About 20 years ago Wynton did a U.K tour.

Amazing this episode!!!!!!! What a teacher what a musician!!!
Jazz is about peace and harmony and inclusion.
“One good melody is worth a thousand scales.” ❤️
That's an awesome quote !!

Great, great summation! 😊 it just makes everything else sing! It’s the song!!!

I can listen to Winton talk about music for forever and a day.
Marc Depalma - so true. He just oozes music from every pore. Such a wealth of wisdom, and such a gentle manner, makes us feel 'I can do it' enough to relax and be brave!

He's always been dedicated to teaching.
The world already owes so much to the Marsalis family, but this is a huge bonus. What a gift! Thank you for sharing this with the world.
I’m saving this to play to my nephew when he’s old enough!

I wish i would have had you in junior high band. We werent taught anything except how to play the music we were to perform. High school was the same.
Jr High and Middle School music teachers are among the most important people in the country. Thank you!
I know,right!
As an Educator of students Pe-K thru 12th grade I can truly say, "Show yoU right!!!!!!!!"
Wynton could have charged hundreds of dollars to watch this video, but instead he decided to bless us with his knowledge. Thank you Mr. Marsalis!
I know I'm late but condolences to you and your family. Ellis is a legend whose influence will live on forever.
Thank you Mr. Marsalis to allow me enter your home and attend to this simple powerful lesson!
He looks just like his dad! The information he is giving us is PRICELESS! Wynton, you are a Master!

He really does look like Ellis these days, I’ve loved these few months on TH-cam so many masters sharing musical insight and priceless lessons
This kind of teaching is VERY valuable. Wynton Marsalis, you just educated a 74 year old Jazz pianist who loves you! Thank you!

This man is a national treasure.

Feels like I'm learning about the blues for the first time here. Mr. Marsalis you're as ever the greatest explainer :)
The blues is the truth. Love this. You have been teaching me for decades. You are still teaching me. Thank you. You are a great.
My goodness! What an Awesome teacher!! He has inspired me to learn how to play the piano!!! He said it! He demonstrated/played it! Then he repeated what he taught!

How cool is he? Wynton for President 2024!
Wouldn't that be great? Sadly, Mr Marsalis almost certainly has more sense than to have anything to do with politics.
noooooo hehe
Please secure 2028 as well. Even more so with blues as a vax (see15'45")
I have read and watch many videos on learning the blues and couldn't believe that in less than 2 min with your teaching i have the forms ingrain in my brain without thinking of a way to memorise it. thanks thanks thanks
This is the single best blues lesson I've ever seen. Wow, nailed it! TED Talk status.
Dr. Marsalis showing love.. Thanks for being you and for teaching us how to be better musicians and people... Working on the blues...
Playing call & response with the legend himself… what a heart warming experience…
What a privilege to receive a lesson from such a great musician! Thank you!
W. C. Handy’s band played at my grandmother’s high school prom over a century ago in Florence, Alabama.
Thank you, mister Marsalis! Everton here, from Campo Grande (Brazil).
When mastery meets passion, magic shows up
This is so beautiful it made me cry.
Boy, you look like your daddy here...the same expression and everything. I miss him so much. Nothing like a Friday night at Snug Harbor. This has motivated me to start back playing the piano. Thanks so much for this Wynton.
A masterclass on directing a history of blues very practical and simple yet so enchanting and deep when you lean into it.
As a classical pianist learning the blues and jazz, this was wonderful. Thank you very much
Now this was one amazingly comprehensive lesson on essentials of Blues.
It has been a pleasure, Mr Marsalis. Thanks so very much from an old lady. Finally, I understand the 12 bar blues, the I, IV, V Chords, and how the fit into the situation.

Very well put Wynton. Putting a thing across so 99% of audience understands it is what it's all about , the other 1% weren't listening
I will never hear the blues the same again.
Wynton is the greatest.
Beautiful dear brother... I appreciate you...and all of your contributions...
It was a privilege and a blessing to have a birthday of your music. I loved how you took time out to bless a young musician..Awesome

Thank you Wynton, and regards from Mexico.
Thank you sir! This brings back great memories of the workshop you did with our Jazz band at Denison University in 1996. You gave me some improvising tips and then had me play (my tenor sax) for you. Will never forget your words: "Now that's one hip solo you just played there". I hope you and your family are staying healthy.
May the joy in this make up for your past misdemeanors Wynton. Mine too. It has.
He is not only a great musician but also a true educator... Thanks for all your lessons 🙏🙏
really enjoyed this, a melody is worth a thousand scales.
Masterful lesson from one of the great Masters! Thank you.
Absolute pleasure to listen and learn.
Been following you for years. I thought your contribution to Ken Burns Jazz was immense and read somewhere that it was your idea for him to do it in the first place. I loved that series. Of all Ken's series, it was by far my favorite that he ever did. For those of us that are musicians, it's a big part of our history, especially those of us from the US. Thank you for your contribution to our art form. You are truly gifted!
I dunno... I kind of disagree with some of the things in the documentary. For one, it ignores decades of history, doesn't include much of Miles Davis, and keeps a definition of jazz very rigidly, stopping basically in 1959. As great as it is, much of the history is forgotten, especially by ignoring Miles Davis, because he and Wynton had beef.
@@aqualili whats there beef???
@@aqualili Uh...there was PLENTY of Miles Davis in the documentary. Wynton spoke at length the importance of his contribution to the music throughout.
What an awesome lesson! Thank you for being my teacher!
Wynton, you are so inspiring and so heartwarming
Thank you so much for sharing this Mr. Marsalis. This is one of the happiest 30 minutes I’ve had since March 16. So informative, educational (not the same as informative), fun, and hopeful. A way through this mess to express feelings. Thank you. Thank you. Julie Harrison

One of the best music ambassadors on the earth!
Generous. Inspirational. Thank you so much, Wynton.Thank you.
Thank you for doing this Wynton! You have done so much for music and humanity. Much love!
He just caressed few chords and already I can't breath because it's so cool.

Great information presented in a way pretty much anybody can digest. What a class act.

Thank you so much, Wynton! You're an amazing musician and an inspiration.
This is the most accurate and profound explanation on how to play the blues that I have ever heard, many thanks to Wynton Marsalis.
