  • Summary

  • Grammy and Pulitzer-prize winning trumpeter, composer and band leader Wynton Marsalis has this month toured with his Lincoln Jazz Centre Orchestra through Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Hong Kong dropped by for a QandA at the FCC with Robin Ewing, director of the Journalism Masters program at Hong Kong Baptist University and presenter of the RTHK3 'Feelin Kinda Sunday' program. It was incidentally the 63rd birthday for Mr Marsalis, and he reflects on his childhood, what he's learned teaching new generations of musicians as well as new compositions of music influenced by a tradition of American jazz in China begun almost 100 years ago. You’ll also hear the audience Q & A session in which Mr Marsalis fields questions about the role of AI in music, gender bias in jazz, comparisons between jazz and journalism, the traditions of democracy and jazz, as well as his deeply felt intellectual response to hip-hop music.
