I'm a US history teacher, 7th grade. I like to add music links to my assignment pages so the kids can click on something different, but relevant to the subject matter. I used this on some work I gave and one of my kids just responded that "the song...is so good that I plan on learning how to play it on my clarinet." Just made my day! B)

I want to play this at my funeral, I feel its way better than playing something sad- this way everyone can celebrate

[garrypowell]

That is without question the best rendition of Dead Man Blues I have heard in a long time and I have been playing this happy music since 1961. Tradjazzman in Portland.

I had the honour, pleasure, joy and any other superlitive you wish to use being at this concert in Marciac on the night of 12thh August. We did not let them leave the stage before 2 in the morning!! The genius of this group of musicians is to perform this music played before to only a few underprivilaged to new atrrangements. Each and every musician contributed indivual styles to this music which could have got lost for ever. (the banjo played looked like an ex-banker from Leahman Brothers)

[heatherkorniichuk]

this music makes you speechless! There is nothing you can do but just listen to it again. Wynton, you are my role model, even though I don't play trumpet the way you play, the emotions that you show and the love you have for playing is seriously contagious! You make me want to be a better musician and a better person!! Thank you so much for being exactly who you are! -Heather

Performed joyfully with sadness inside.

It was such a great honour to meet Wynton Marsalis at the Joy of Jazz and that colleboration he did on stage with Sibongile Khumalo was my highlight of the evening, such an awesome experience.

Love it at all times!!! I know Jelly Roll's relatives the Mc Kenna's from childhood and was schooled about his history from the great nephew before he passed....This brings back my memories of what his great ;nephew shared with me.
