Jazz in Barbados June 28 – July 4, 2013

People have taken time out of their day and spent their money to come sit down at a concert. And it’s jazz music – it’s not easy for them to get to it. I don’t want them ever to feel that I’m taking their presence lightly.Wynton Marsalis, an American trumpeter, composer, teacher, music educator, and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, United States.
