Wynton Marsalis (Keith Major)
Pulling No Punches
Monday, December 13, 2004
Today, trumpeter and Jazz at Lincoln Center artistic director Wynton Marsalis returns to the Soundcheck to discuss his collaboration with lyricist Diane Charlotte Lampert titled "Suite for Human Nature," which had its world premiere at the Washington Performing Arts Society last week. Host John Schaefer will touch on another of Marsalis’ recent projects: the music for the latest of Ken Burns’ films, Unforgivable Blackness, a documentary on Jack Johnson, the first Black Heavyweight Champion of the World. Marsalis will be followed by Abdel Salaam, founder and artistic director of the Forces of Nature Dance Theatre.
