Originally broadcast 5/5/08:
Ruth Ezell visits with three very different but connected jazz musicians to find out what music means to them. Wynton Marsalis is one of the world’s best trumpet players, and when he preformed at the St. Louis Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2004 he encouraged festival volunteer Andre Brown to learn to play. Joshua Williams is an aspiring jazz trumpet player who has been mentored by Marsalis, and now teach Brown as well. Ruth also visits with Joshua’s brother Jo-el and father Terry.
