'Democracy Has No King,' Says Wynton Marsalis

Over the course of four decades, Pulitzer Prize winning composer Wynton Marsalis has charted a career that has enabled him to see the world and attract new generations of talent to jazz music. His vast portfolio of work includes over 100 jazz and classical recordings and over 5000 concerts in over 60 countries. In his words, “Jazz music is the perfect metaphor for democracy,” and can serve as an inspirational tool to help us reflect on the past and reconsider the future. A conversation with the world-renowned trumpeter, bandleader, and composer on American democracy and the pursuit of justice–and what the fundamentals of jazz can teach us about leadership, teamwork and bridging social and political divides.
