Sept. 20, 2018 attended Hollywood Bowl performance of STORIES of a GROOVE by Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra/Gerald Clayton Trio and Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis presents SPACES. See clip of SPACES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5QutDGhbPc. The character and sensitivity of Sir Wynton Marsalis became very evident to me when we connected visually and during an extended hand shake for the first time at the reception following his narration and the encore for SPACES. Just as Sir Wynton Marsalis has characterized different animals through jazz and dance, I am intrigued with the idea of Sir Wynton Marsalis composing a similar piece depicting different personalities within our human kind.
