I think it rather arrogant to "trash" the music of Coltrane and Miles Davis.

No, not arrogant. It's my opinion, stated as such. I'm no music scholar. Bitch's Brew was the last album I enjoyed from Miles Davis.
--------
This may be to your dismay, but these men, and many others, were far more innovative than Wynton Marsalis.
--------
No argument from me. I'm not in any way standing up for Marsalis.

It is obvious from his comments that he does not understand the music of Davis and Coltrane...Perhaps he is not the same "genius" that these men were...
----------
It's possible. And it could also be possible that he just doesn't like their music at all.
----------
I do find it upsetting that you even compare him to Davis and Coltrane. Really Mark, that's like comparing Lloyd Webber to Beethoven or Mozart. OUCH!
----------
You must have read some other posting, not mine. I didn't do any such thing.
----------
And yes, Marsalis is arrogant! I have worked with him twice, and I can tell you stories... I know someone who toured with him too... he is a very "high" maintenance child!
----------
Well, he wasn't to me. That's all I can say. Maybe he was having a good day ...
