about

LondonJazz spoke to <b>Branford Marsalis</b> about his upcoming appearance in the PBS show <i>Finding Your Roots</i> alongside Harry Connick Jr., the musical culture in New Orleans and how it is one of the few places in the States with its own songs, the idea of improving as a musician by reading (especially non-fiction) and being as informed as possible about extra-musical events whch allows the musician to form a convincing narrative.<br/><br/>

We also talked about the idea of the "new" versus the "good" and how, with just twelve notes available in the chromatic scale, there can be no such thing as innovation in Western music; Marsalis uses the comparison of Coltrane's <i>Impressions</i> and Morton Gould's <i>Pavane</i> from his <i>American Symphonette No.2</i> to illustrate this point.
