Branford Marsalis (interview)...

...always has something interesting to say:

So much truth there. Bran is a constant inspiration. As the video reflects, although he was a bona-fide prodigy he has worked intentionally for decades to be able to consistently deliver the sound we hear from him.

Branford is a really smart guy...

I love interviews with Branford, thanks for sharing. Cat does not mince words.

although he was a bona-fide prodigy

I wonder if Branford would agree with this statement; he's been pretty dismissive of his early playing in interviews. In listening to the early Wynton records, which are incredible, I kinda agree that he doesn't have things as together as he would. For me, his first great record is "Royal Garden Blues".

Is that the one after the Sting tour, during which, Branford said, his jazz chops had fallen off completely?

The "Bloomington" movie and trio CD were made in the middle of the Sting tour. I hope that someday I fall that far!
