There's absolutely nothing wrong with listening to those musicians. I have a ton of music by those same musicians, but I can tell you that Wynton is an excellent jazz musician. Like you said, he in fact has been influenced by them, but he also brings his own ideas and style into his music.

No, i just listen to the older stuff, you know the stuff that came before wynton and miles. like louis armstrong, charlie parker, george gershwin, dizzy gillespie, bix beiderbeck, king oliver, john coltrane, clark terry. you know the people that influenced marsalis. but you know what i'm just dumb

I always thought of him as a divine classical trumpet player but a alright jazz. i might be stuck in the past with Dizzy and Louis but it just seems like Wynton try's too hard.

Maastricht, the Netherlands, round 2001 late night a jazzband played it's last tunes of the evening. When packing theyr gear they became exited. "Isn't that Wynton?" He and his band were walking back from a concert to the hotel. They stepped in and asked the local band to jam with them. They went on and on, respecting one and another. The happy few had a great show. No only for the music, but to see the equal level of respect from the master to the amateur. Wynton, thanks for this all. Erik.
