I just watched one of the best '60 minutes' I've ever seen. It was mostly a Morley Saffer interview w/clips of jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsallis. Those parts shot in Cuba were inspirational. If you missed it, you missed a treat.

I never watch that show especially when it's football season...glad you enjoyed it.
You can always watch it's repeat on HULU.com

Thanks for putting up that clip. It covers a lot of what we have discussed here many times, concerning the joys of playing with other musicians. A good insight into the complexities of jazz and what it's like to be a real musician playing at a very high level. Russ, Tony; if you're reading this, check it out.

Choosing ANY sports broadcast over this piece or anything like it is a CRIME!

"The Arts are our collective human heritage".


That says it all!

I did see it and it was great!

Love my TIVO.
Saw the Wynton Marsallis interview and two ballgames. Didn't miss a thing. I enjoyed the interview and ONE of the ball games. Condolences to Drew Brees.

sorry Russ....The Eagles & football come first in this house especially on Sunday...!! The news media is what is ruining this country IMO.
Top me it's "60 minutes" wasted out of my life ....But, ....I don't begrudge anyones right to watch whatever they want that's why we have a remote control...enjoy "YOUR" programing just don't try to force it on anyone else..

OMG, that sounds like something Yogi Berra might have said. Man oh man, I can't stop laughing. Did you REALLY mean to say that. Anyway, I've seen ads for 'Universal Remote Controls'. Now I know what that means.

Wow, you can't make this stuff up.

I accidentally recorded 60 minutes, after the football game. I watched the show and enjoyed it a lot. Sure are pretty girls in Cuba!
Anyway, trumpet was my first instrument and the first instrument I was ever PAID to play.
I was first chair in the All-state concert band in Oklahoma my sophomore year in high school. I wasn't able to participate after that because it conflicted with sports.
I'm not able to play trumpet much any more because of basketball injuries to my teeth.
My hero as a kid was Harry James!
...just more stuff you didn't need to know.
