Wynton Marsalis Jazz Tour

Wynton Marsalis Jazz Tour at Lincoln Center Orchestra in a performance. The company was in London and Havana. Jazz is exclusively American, and the show featuring Wynton Marsalis to bring music to people around the world. The group not only performed but also taught. While in Havana, patiently Ted Nash, a saxophonist in the group, showed a girl how to attract Cuban melancholy notes of the horns.

Profile featuring live concert footage mixed with interview segments. Wynton Marsalis said "The arts are our collective human heritage. You're a better person if you know what Shakespeare was talking about. If you know what Beethoven struggled with, if you know about Matisse. If you know what Louis Armstrong actually sang through his horn, you're better."

His "60 Minutes" appearance was a memorable and beautiful. It seems that he and his band were able to reach and teach many people around the world.
