POPULARITY
I began the Pullin from the Stacks podcast just over 10 years ago, publishing my first episode on October 19, 2014. The name is from the classic Digable Planets cut "Pacifics," a song which has a lot of meaning to me. I think I actually messed up and called it "Pullin from the Crates" for that first episode. The first record I played was a cover of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" by the Jazz Piano Quartet. The first record I play on this episode is a different "Maiden Voyage" cover, this time by the Dalton Jazz Ensemble, a school band record I found at Recollect Records in Denver years ago. One of my favorite songs, I still search out any version I can. The next record is the first record I ever put on my Discogs "want list," Michael Sardaby's "Gail," after hearing a soundclip on Youtube one day. Even back then it was going for more money than I'd ever spent on a piece of wax. A few years later, I sold my old copy of Eminem's first 12" for a couple hundred, and immediately went to see if there were any copies of "Gail" available at the same price - and there were! I feel so lucky to have snagged one. The next record is from one of my favorite jazz compilations, this one out of Hungary in the early 70s. I highly recommend it, the whole record is gorgeous, it's called "Modern Jazz Anthology X" and folks are sleeping on it! Staying in the same part of the world, I was introduced to Romanian jazz legend Johnny Cretu Raducanu after hearing a few Electrecord releases he had played on. The cover of this 10" and his own cover of Charles Mingus's "Haitian Fight Song" drove me to track down a copy online. The whole record is stunning. Speaking of stunning it is hard to find words to describe the beauty of this masterpiece by Winston Mankunku Ngozi, often referred to as South Africa's John Coltrane. It is a desert island record. The following tune, from the Roy Haynes Trio, is one I heard on Karriem Riggins masterful mix, "Music Kaleidoscope," and had to track down. I found it one weekend in a super random record store deep in Long Island. The Chucho Valdes represents my love of Cuban jazz; while I didn't find this record during my time in Havana, I did get hip to Mr. Valdes and months afterword dug this out of a crate on the floor under a table at the WMFU record fair. The Milton Banana cut I play here is from the first record of his I bought, I think at Human Head back in the day. He's killing it on the drums!! I don't remember when I first heard this RF 45 - maybe Junior played it? - but it's a gem, had to track one down. And Green Caterpillar man...I first heard this when Rev Shines played it YEARS ago on KBOO during Jumbo's "Beat Jeopardy" show. I remember being like "wtf is this?!?!?" - took many years to find a copy. I bought this off a dude in Colorado on Amazon.com in like 2015 for about $80. Clean. No regrets on that. The Soul Surfers cut here is just crazy to me, I think someone posted it on IG and I took notice. And finally, this beautiful cover of Kendrick Lamar by my guy Sly 5th Ave released by my people DJ Center and Footlong Development is a stone cold classic. I can't count all the DJ gigs I end with this 45 or all the people coming up to the turntables to see what it is. This is not the end of the podcast. There will be more episodes, though probably less often, as has been the case for much of 2024. Hoping to get back on a schedule of 1-2 episodes a month, possibly with some special guests. Speaking of guests, I want to thank everyone who's contributed a guest set these past ten years! Alex Stange, DO77, Duiji Mshinda, John Morrison, DJ Center, J. Rawls, Bruce Phillips, Evolve-One, LateBloomer and dflush, Daniel Littlewood, the DadBodRapPod, and Waffles Hidalgo. Much respect! And the biggest thank you goes out to everyone who's tuned in once or a hundred times, downloaded, subscribed, told their friends, or talked shit. It's all appreciated.

WUCF'S March artist for ‘In the Key of Latin Jazz' is Afro-Cuban jazz pianist Dayramir Gonzalez. Everywhere around him, music was there in the streets of Cuba. With the sounds of the African Yoruba tribe as well as the legacy of people like Chucho Valdes and Chano Pozo–he balanced developing his internal ear with his sacred craft. He's gone on to lead his own band-Dayramir & Habana enTRANCé-with Juan Chiavassa on drums, Dean Torrey on bass, and Christian Moraga on percussion. His musical exploration led him to be the first Cuban ever to receive a full scholarship from Berklee College of Music. He then moved to New York City with full commitment to his music. Representing the young generation of Afro-Cuban jazz, he's headlined Carnegie Hall and makes sure to guide the youth–especially those with fewer opportunities. It's all about transcending boundaries and making his father proud.

Episode 17 – Tension HeadacheThe sun rises over the San Joaquin Valley, California, today is June 19, 2020. This week we welcomed a new group of residents who started on June 15, 2020. Welcome aboard, Drs. Amodio, Civelli, Grewal, Lorenzo, Lundquist, Martinez, Nwosu, and Viamontes. We are excited for you and all the experiences you will have in the next 3 years. On Jun 9, the USPSTF recommended to screen for unhealthy drug use all adults age 18 years or older. This a Grade B recommendation (moderate to substantial benefit). Screening should be implemented when services for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and appropriate care can be offered or referred. Screening in this case refers to asking questions about unhealthy drug use, not testing biological specimens(1).The search for the miraculous antiviral drug against COVID-19 continues. We previously mentioned remdesivir, which was granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the FDA on May 1, 2020 in the US. Another drug you should be aware of is avifavir. Avifavir is based on Favipiravir, originally sold in Japan as an antiviral medication to treat influenza. Avifavir has been approved to be used in Russia, and is being tested in the US and the UK as well. Let’s keep avifavir on our radar, if it works, we’ll surely know about it.Welcome to Rio Bravo qWeek, the podcast of the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program, recorded weekly from Bakersfield, California, the land where growing is happening everywhere.The Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program trains residents and students to prevent illnesses and bring health and hope to our community. Our mission: To Seek, Teach and Serve. Sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Providing compassionate and affordable care to patients throughout Kern and Fresno counties since 1971. “[Feedback], like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.” – inspired by Frank A. ClarkBeing corrected is not easy. It takes a lot of courage to accept that we may be wrong sometimes, and trying to fix our mistake requires diligence. Remember that your attendings are not trying to humiliate you (or at least the attending I know), but they are correcting you to help you succeed in your career. Today we have a resident who is excited to talk about his topic. Welcome, Dr Brito.1. Question Number 1: Who are you?I was born and raised in the center of the Cuban island. I had the opportunity to study and practice Medicine in my native country. After graduating from medical school, I completed my social service year in an underserved area on the beautiful north coast. Most of my patients were farm workers or fishermen. I also worked in the ER for 6 years before emigrating to the United States. Once in the US, and after years of preparation, I was accepted into the UCLA IMG Program in 2018, and the following year I matched in the Rio Bravo program.I like fish keeping, outdoor sports such as running, sports in general, my favorite Movie director is Pedro Almodovar. I also love jazz music, Miles Davis, and Chucho Valdes. 2. Question number 2: What did you learn this week?I learned about the treatment of Tension-type Headache (TTH).PREVENTIVE THERAPYProphylactic therapy ranges from drugs to nonpharmacologic therapies such as behavioral and cognitive interventions. Prophylactic treatment is indicated if headaches are frequent, long-lasting, or account for a significant amount of total disability. Such as, frequent episodic subtype (1 to 14 headache-days a month) and chronic subtype (>15 headache-days a month) Preventive therapy may be also indicated when acute therapy (such as acetaminophen and NSAIDs) fails or is inappropriate because of inadequate response, adverse events, overuse, or contraindications. Pharmacologic preventive therapies: Evidence of efficacy is limited and inconsistent, but perhaps is strongest for the tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline. Other medications - mirtazapine and venlafaxine, topiramate, gabapentin, tizanidine have limited data. Trigger point injections require more research. In contrast, SSRIs are not effective. Dosing and duration of therapy: Start the drug at the lowest dose, and increase the dose gradually until therapeutic benefit is achieved. Benefit is often first noted only after four to six weeks of therapy. Avoid overuse of analgesic medication, in fact eliminate it, or preventive therapy will likely be ineffective. Measure the effectiveness of therapy by use of a patient headache diary. For example, amitriptyline at 10-12.5 mg nightly, and increase the dose in 10 to 12.5 mg steps every two to three weeks as tolerated, maximum dose of 100 to 125 mg. TCA are associated with cardiac conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias. Before initiating treatment, patient should be screened, 40 years and older with EKG, younger than 40 can be screened by history for evidence of cardiac disease. Behavioral therapies: Regulation of sleep, exercise, and meals. CBT, relaxation, biofeedback—These therapies may be suited for patients who prefer no pharmacologic treatment; those who have insufficient response to, or poor tolerance to pharmacologic treatments; pregnant, nursing, excessive use of analgesics; those who have significant stress or deficient stress-coping skills. Studies suggest treatment using biofeedback combined with relation therapy rather than other behavioral therapy options. Biofeedback: Electrical sensors connected to a monitor are hooked up to your body. The sensors measure one or more signs of stress. This can include heart rate, muscle tension, or body temperature. The measurements provide feedback about how your body responds to different stimuli. Patients learn to interpret those signals and control them.Other no pharmacologic therapies such as acupuncture which suggests any benefit is likely to be modest and Physical therapies with unproven benefits. ACUTE TREATMENTThe acute or abortive therapy of TTH ranges from nonpharmacologic therapies to simple and combination analgesic medications. In most cases, the treatment of TTH is largely self-directed using OTC medications without any input from a medical provider. Nonpharmacologic treatments include heat, ice, massage, rest, and biofeedback. Precipitating factors include of TTH: Stress and mental tension are reported to be the most common precipitants. Other precipitants anxiety, major depression, overwork, Lack of sleep, Incorrect posture, etc. Controlling these triggers may help in the acute treatment of TTH.Medications: Given the available data, the recommended treatment is with simple analgesics such as NSAIDs or aspirin for patients with pure episodic TTH. Acetaminophen 1000 mg is probably less effective than NSAIDs or aspirin. Reasonable choices include ibuprofen (200-400), naproxen (220 or 550 mg) or aspirin (650 to 1000). For failing, diclofenac (25 to 100 mg). For those who cannot tolerate NSAIDs or aspirin, acetaminophen 1000 mg is the preferred choice. How to judge the success of acute treatmentReasonable goals:- Is the patient pain-free and functioning normally in two to four hours after treatment? - Does the treatment work consistently without routine headache recurrence? - Is the patient able to plan his or her day? (disability)- Is it tolerable?The treatment should be considered ineffective if two or more of these criteria are consistently not met. What to do in case of treatment failure Consider diagnosis of TTH is inaccurate, less likely secondary etiology, most likely migraine without aura Dx is correct but wrong medication choice, inadequate dose, timingMedication overusePatient has depression, and/or anxiety disorder. Other acute interventions: Combination analgesics containing caffeine (recommended in suboptimal response), butalbital and codeine (not recommended as initial therapy), Parenteral (chlorpromazine, metoclopramide (limited evidence), Ketorolac, Muscle relaxant (not recommended) 3. Question number 3: Why is that knowledge important for you and your patients? Tension-type headache is the most prevalent headache in the general population and the second-most prevalent disorder in the world. Yearly, prevalence rates for episodic TTH are approximately 80 % in men and women. Understanding the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of TTH is important for accurate diagnosis and optimum treatment. However, TTH is a relatively featureless HA, making it the least distinct of all the primary HA phenotypes. In addition, it is the least studied of all the primary HA disorders, despite having a high socioeconomic impact. Societal impact: The prevalence of TTH is greater than migraine and the overall cost of TTH is high. In one population study, persons with episodic TTH reported a mean of nine lost workdays and five reduced- effectiveness days, while persons with chronic TTH reported a mean of 27 lost workdays and 20 reduced-effectiveness days. 4. Question number 4: How did you get that knowledge?That knowledge came first from medical school, and second, after years of practicing Medicine. During those years, we as doctors, evaluate and manage a large number of patients with one of the most common medical complaints, headache. In terms of finding out more of what to do with patients, how to make them feel better, I had to look some stuff up. My trusty sources in clinic are 1) Up to Date, 2) Faculty, 3) Review/Journal articles. Not necessarily in that order. 5. Question number 5: Where did that knowledge come from?The information comes from multiple reliable medical sources such as “Frequent Headaches: Evaluation and Management” by Anne Walling, downloaded from the AAFP website, and “Tension-type headache in adults: Preventive treatment and Acute Treatment” in Up-to-Date. ____________________________Speaking Medical: CholuriaHi this is Harjinder Sidhu, I’m a 3rd-year medical student. I’m here to present the medical word of the week: Choluria. Has your patient ever inform you their urine color is brown (Coca-Cola color)? Choluria has 2 roots, “chol” and “uria.” “Chol” is the combination of bile and gallbladder. “Uria” is the presence of something in urine that should not be present. So choluria is the presence of bile in the urine. What causes the urine to become brownish in color? The presence of bile in urine is caused by an underlying liver disease such as cirrhosis, hepatitis and/or hemolysis. Choluria usually manifests when the serum levels of bilirubin are above 1.5mg/dl. Now that you understand what choluria is, in the future you can look out for our patients by asking any changes in urine as a sign of potential liver problems. Stay tuned for next week’s word of the week!____________________________Espanish Por Favor: Señale con un dedoHi this is Dr Carranza on our section Espanish por favor. This week I wanted to share a tool for a follow-up question. Not too long ago we learned that DOLOR means pain, and we learned about body parts like “cabeza” head, “rodilla” knee, “pecho” chest, etc. Next you will probably want to ask where the “dolor” exactly is, and to simplify things we can ask the patient to point with one finger to where it hurts. We can do this by saying “dónde” which means where, followed by “señale con un dedo”, which means point with one finger. “Señalar” means to point, and “dedo” means finger.I hope you can use this in your practice, “señale con un dedo”, and you can always ask nicely and add “por favor” which means please. Have a great week!Now we conclude our episode number 17 “Tension Headache”. Dr Brito briefly explained the treatment of tension headache. Lifestyle modifications are key in the treatment, and many non-pharmacological options are available with different degrees of evidence. Thinking about prophylaxis of tension headaches? Amitriptyline is likely a good choice, but remember the side effects as well. Dr Carranza taught us how to ask about location of pain with the phrase “señale con un dedo”, and then we remembered the word choluria, which is bilirubin in the urine. Stay tuned for more next week.This is the end of Rio Bravo qWeek. We say good bye from Bakersfield, a special place in the beautiful Central Valley of California, United States, a land where growing is happening everywhere.If you have any feedback about this podcast, contact us by email RBresidency@clinicasierravista.org, or visit our website riobravofmrp.org/qweek.

Share. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is Wynton's Bio straight from his website: Wynton Marsalis is an internationally acclaimed musician, composer, bandleader, educator and a leading advocate of American culture. He is the world’s first jazz artist to perform and compose across the full jazz spectrum from its New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. By creating and performing an expansive range of brilliant new music for quartets to big bands, chamber music ensembles to symphony orchestras, tap dance to ballet, Wynton has expanded the vocabulary for jazz and created a vital body of work that places him among the world’s finest musicians and composers. The Early Years Wynton was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 18, 1961, to Ellis and Dolores Marsalis, the second of six sons. At an early age he exhibited a superior aptitude for music and a desire to participate in American culture. At age eight Wynton performed traditional New Orleans music in the Fairview Baptist Church band led by legendary banjoist Danny Barker, and at 14 he performed with the New Orleans Philharmonic. During high school Wynton performed with the New Orleans Symphony Brass Quintet, New Orleans Community Concert Band, New Orleans Youth Orchestra, New Orleans Symphony, various jazz bands and with the popular local funk band, the Creators. At age 17 Wynton became the youngest musician ever to be admitted to Tanglewood’s Berkshire Music Center. Despite his youth, he was awarded the school’s prestigious Harvey Shapiro Award for outstanding brass student. Wynton moved to New York City to attend Juilliard in 1979. When he began to pick up gigs around town, the grapevine began to buzz. In 1980 Wynton seized the opportunity to join the Jazz Messengers to study under master drummer and bandleader Art Blakey. It was from Blakey that Wynton acquired his concept for bandleading and for bringing intensity to each and every performance. In the years to follow Wynton performed with Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Sweets Edison, Clark Terry, John Lewis, Sonny Rollins, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and countless other jazz legends. Wynton assembled his own band in 1981 and hit the road, performing over 120 concerts every year for 15 consecutive years. With the power of his superior musicianship, the infectious sound of his swinging bands and an exhaustive series of performances and music workshops, Marsalis rekindled widespread interest in jazz throughout the world. Wynton embraced the jazz lineage to garner recognition for the older generation of overlooked jazz musicians and prompted the re-issue of jazz catalog by record companies worldwide. He also inspired a renaissance that attracted a new generation of fine young talent to jazz. A look at the more distinguished jazz musicians of today reveals numerous students of Marsalis’ workshops: James Carter, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Harry Connick Jr., Nicholas Payton, Eric Reed and Eric Lewis, to name a few. Classical Career Wynton’s love of the music of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and others drove him to pursue a career in classical music as well. He recorded the Haydn, Hummel and Leopold Mozart trumpet concertos at age 20. His debut recording received glorious reviews and won the Grammy Award® for “Best Classical Soloist with an Orchestra.” Marsalis went on to record 10 additional classical records, all to critical acclaim. Wynton performed with leading orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Pops, The Cleveland Orchestra, Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra and London’s Royal Philharmonic, working with an eminent group of conductors including: Leppard, Dutoit, Maazel, Slatkin, Salonen and Tilson-Thomas. A timeless highlight of Wynton’s classical career is his collaboration with soprano Kathleen Battle on their recording Baroque Duet. Famed classical trumpeter Maurice André praised Wynton as “potentially the greatest trumpeter of all time.” Record Production To date Wynton has produced over 80 records which have sold over seven million copies worldwide including three Gold Records. His recordings consistently incorporate a heavy emphasis on the blues, an inclusive approach to all forms of jazz from New Orleans to modern jazz, persistent use of swing as the primary rhythm, an embrace of the American popular song, individual and collective improvisation, and a panoramic vision of compositional styles from dittys to dynamic call and response patterns (both within the rhythm section and between the rhythm section and horn players). Always swinging, Marsalis blows his trumpet with a clear tone and a unique, virtuosic style derived from an encyclopedic range of trumpet techniques. The Composer Wynton Marsalis is a prolific and inventive composer. The dance community embraced Wynton’s inventiveness by awarding him with commissions to create new music for Garth Fagan (Citi Movement-Griot New York & Lighthouse/Lightening Rod), Peter Martins at the New York City Ballet (Jazz: Six Syncopated Movements and Them Twos), Twyla Tharp with the American Ballet Theatre (Jump Start), Judith Jamison at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre (Sweet Release and Here…Now), and Savion Glover (Petite Suite and Spaces). Marsalis collaborated with the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society in 1995 to compose the string quartet At The Octoroon Balls, and again in 1998 to create a response to Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale with his composition A Fiddler’s Tale. With his collection of standards arrangements, Wynton reconnected audiences with the beauty of the American popular song (Standard Time Volumes I-VI). He re-introduced the joy in New Orleans jazz with his recording The Majesty Of The Blues. He extended the jazz musician’s interplay with the blues in Levee Low Moan, Thick In The South and other blues recordings. With Citi Movement, In This House On This Morning and Blood On The Fields, Wynton invented a fresh conception for extended form compositions. His inventive interplay with melody, harmony and rhythm, along with his lyrical voicing and tonal coloring assert new possibilities for the jazz ensemble. In his dramatic oratorio Blood On The Fields, Wynton draws upon the blues, work songs, chants, call and response, spirituals, New Orleans jazz, Ellingtonesque orchestral arrangements and Afro-Caribbean rhythms; and he uses Greek chorus-style recitations to move the work along. The New York Times Magazine said the work “marked the symbolic moment when the full heritage of the line, Ellington through Mingus, was extended into the present.” The San Francisco Examiner stated, “Marsalis’ orchestral arrangements are magnificent. Duke Ellington’s shadings and themes come and go but Marsalis’ free use of dissonance, counter rhythms and polyphonics is way ahead of Ellington’s mid-century era.” Wynton extended his achievements in Blood On The Fields with All Rise, an epic composition for big band, gospel choir, and symphony orchestra – a classic work of high art – which was performed by the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Kurt Masur along with the Morgan State University Choir and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (December 1999). Marsalis collaborated with Ghanaian master drummer Yacub Addy to create Congo Square, a groundbreaking composition combining elegant harmonies from America’s jazz tradition with fundamental rituals in African percussion and vocals (2006). For the anniversary of the Abyssinian Baptist Church’s 200th year of service, Marsalis blended Baptist church choir cadences with blues accents and big band swing rhythms to compose Abyssinian 200: A Celebration, which was performed by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Abyssinian’s 100 voice choir before packed houses in New York City (May 2008). In the fall of 2009 the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra premiered Marsalis’ composition Blues Symphony. By infusing blues and ragtime rhythms with symphonic orchestrations Wynton creates a fresh type of enjoyment of classical repertoire. Employing complex layers of collective improvisation, Marsalis further expanded his repertoire for symphony orchestra with Swing Symphony, premiered by the renowned Berlin Philharmonic in June 2010, creating new possibilities for audiences to experience a symphony orchestra swing. Marsalis’ rich and expansive body of music for the ages places him among the world’s most significant composers. Television, Radio & Literary In the fall of 1995 Wynton launched two major broadcast events. In October PBS premiered Marsalis On Music, an educational television series on jazz and classical music. The series was written and hosted by Marsalis and was enjoyed by millions of parents and children. Writers distinguished Marsalis On Music with comparisons to Leonard Bernstein’s celebrated Young People’s Concerts of the 50s and 60s. That same month National Public Radio aired the first of Marsalis’ 26-week series entitled Making the Music. These entertaining and insightful radio shows were the first full exposition of jazz music in American broadcast history. Wynton’s radio and television series were awarded the most prestigious distinction in broadcast journalism, the George Foster Peabody Award. The Spirit of New Orleans, Wynton’s poetic tribute to the New Orleans Saints’ first Super Bowl victory (Super Bowl XLIV) received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Feature (2011). From 2012 to 2014 Wynton served as cultural correspondent for CBS News, writing and presenting features for CBS This Morning on an array topics from Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Louis Armstrong to Juke Joints, BBQ, the Quarterback & Conducting and Thankfulness. Marsalis has written six books: Sweet Swing Blues on the Road, Jazz in the Bittersweet Blues of Life, To a Young Musician: Letters from the Road, Jazz ABZ (an A to Z collection of poems celebrating jazz greats), Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life and Squeak, Rumble, Whomp! Whomp! Whomp! a sonic adventure for kids. Awards and Accolades Wynton Marsalis has won nine Grammy Awards® in grand style. In 1983 he became the only artist ever to win Grammy Awards® for both jazz and classical records; and he repeated the distinction by winning jazz and classical Grammys® again in 1984. Today Wynton is the only artist ever to win Grammy Awards® in five consecutive years (1983-1987). Honorary degrees have been conferred upon Wynton by over 25 of America’s leading academic institutions including Columbia, Harvard, Howard, Princeton and Yale (see Exhibit A). Elsewhere Wynton was honored with the Louis Armstrong Memorial Medal and the Algur H. Meadows Award for Excellence in the Arts. He was inducted into the American Academy of Achievement and was dubbed an Honorary Dreamer by the “I Have a Dream Foundation.” The New York Urban League awarded Wynton with the Frederick Douglass Medallion for distinguished leadership and the American Arts Council presented him with the Arts Education Award. Time magazine selected Wynton as one of America’s most promising leaders under age 40 in 1995, and in 1996 Time celebrated Marsalis again as one of America’s 25 most influential people. In November 2005 Wynton Marsalis received The National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists by the United States Government. United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan proclaimed Wynton Marsalis an international ambassador of goodwill for the Unites States by appointing him a UN Messenger of Peace (2001). In 1997 Wynton Marsalis became the first jazz musician ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his epic oratorio Blood On The Fields. During the five preceding decades the Pulitzer Prize jury refused to recognize jazz musicians and their improvisational music, reserving this distinction for classical composers. In the years following Marsalis’ award, the Pulitzer Prize for Music has been awarded posthumously to Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane. In a personal note to Wynton, Zarin Mehta wrote: “I was not surprised at your winning the Pulitzer Prize for Blood On The Fields. It is a broad, beautifully painted canvas that impresses and inspires. It speaks to us all … I’m sure that, somewhere in the firmament, Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong and legions of others are smiling down on you.” Wynton’s creativity has been celebrated throughout the world. He won the Netherlands’ Edison Award and the Grand Prix Du Disque of France. The Mayor of Vitoria, Spain, awarded Wynton with the city’s Gold Medal – its most coveted distinction. Britain’s senior conservatoire, the Royal Academy of Music, granted Mr. Marsalis Honorary Membership, the Academy’s highest decoration for a non-British citizen (1996). The city of Marciac, France, erected a bronze statue in his honor. The French Ministry of Culture appointed Wynton the rank of Knight in the Order of Arts and Literature and in the fall of 2009 Wynton received France’s highest distinction, the insignia Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, an honor that was first awarded by Napoleon Bonaparte. French Ambassador, His Excellency Pierre Vimont, captured the evening best with his introduction: “We are gathered here tonight to express the French government’s recognition of one of the most influential figures in American music, an outstanding artist, in one word: a visionary… I want to stress how important your work has been for both the American and the French. I want to put the emphasis on the main values and concerns that we all share: the importance of education and transmission of culture from one generation to the other, and a true commitment to the profoundly democratic idea that lies in jazz music. I strongly believe that, for you, jazz is more than just a musical form. It is tradition, it is part of American history and culture and life. To you, jazz is the sound of democracy. And from this democratic nature of jazz derives openness, generosity, and universality.” Jazz at Lincoln Center In 1987 Wynton Marsalis co-founded a jazz program at Lincoln Center. In July 1996, due to its significant success, Jazz at Lincoln Center was installed as new constituent of Lincoln Center, equal in stature with the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, and New York City Ballet – a historic moment for jazz as an art form and for Lincoln Center as a cultural institution. In October 2004, with the assistance of a dedicated Board and staff, Marsalis opened Frederick P. Rose Hall, the world’s first institution for jazz. The complex contains three state-of-the-art performance spaces (including the first concert hall designed specifically for jazz) along with recording, broadcast, rehearsal and educational facilities. Jazz at Lincoln Center has become a preferred venue for New York jazz fans and a destination for travelers from throughout the world. Wynton presently serves as Managing and Artistic Director for Jazz at Lincoln Center. Under Wynton’s leadership, Jazz at Lincoln Center has developed an international agenda presenting rich and diverse programming that includes concerts, debates, film forums, dances, television and radio broadcasts, and educational activities. Jazz at Lincoln Center is a mecca for learning as well as a hub for performance. Their comprehensive educational programming includes a Band Director’s Academy, a hugely popular concert series for kids called Jazz for Young People, Jazz in the Schools, a Middle School Jazz Academy, WeBop! (for kids ages 8 months to 5 years), an annual High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival that reaches over 2000 bands in 50 states and Canada. In 2010 the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra established its first residency in Cuba with a rich cultural exchange of performances with Cuban musicians including Chucho Valdes and Omara Portuondo and education programs for kids. Education In 2011 Harvard University President Drew Faust invited Wynton to enrich the cultural life of the University community. Wynton responded by creating a 6 lecture series which he delivered over the ensuing 3 years entitled Hidden In Plain View: Meanings in American Music, with the goal of fostering a stronger appreciation for the arts and a higher level of cultural literacy in academia. From 2015 to 2021 Wynton will serve as an A.D. White Professor at Cornell University. A.D. White Professors are charged with the mandate to enliven the intellectual and cultural lives of university students. Giving Back Wynton Marsalis has devoted his life to uplifting populations worldwide with the egalitarian spirit of jazz. And while his body of work is enough to fill two lifetimes, Wynton continues to work tirelessly to contribute even more to our world’s cultural landscape. It has been said that he is an artist for whom greatness is not just possible, but inevitable. The most extraordinary dimension of Wynton Marsalis, however, is not his accomplishments but his character. It is the lesser-known part of this man who finds endless ways to give of himself. It is the person who waited in an empty parking lot for one full hour after a concert in Baltimore, waiting for a single student to return from home with his horn for a trumpet lesson. It is the citizen who personally funds scholarships for students and covers medical expenses for those in need. Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, Wynton organized the Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Concert and raised over $3 million for musicians and cultural organizations impacted by the hurricane. At the same time, he assumed a leadership role on the Bring Back New Orleans Cultural Commission where he was instrumental in shaping a master plan that would revitalize the city’s cultural base. Wynton Marsalis has selflessly donated his time and talent to non-profit organizations throughout the country to raise money to meet the many needs within our society. From My Sister’s Place (a shelter for battered women) to Graham Windham (a shelter for homeless children), the Children’s Defense Fund, Amnesty International, the Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute, Food For All Seasons (a food bank for the elderly and disadvantaged), Very Special Arts (an organization that provides experiences in dance, drama, literature, and music for individuals with physical and mental disabilities) to the Newark Boys Chorus School (a full-time academic music school for disadvantaged youths) and many, many more – Wynton responded enthusiastically to the call for service. It is Wynton Marsalis’ commitment to the improvement of life for all people that portrays the best of his character and humanity. In 2011 Wynton joined with Harvard University President, Drew Faust to present a series of 6 lectures to the student body over 3 years.
