As far as Wynton Marsalis I think punk is a little harsh. Do I think he is a great trumpet player in the same class as Clifford Brown, Fats Navarro, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Kenny Dorham, Miles Davis, or even the late Roy Hargrove who played during the same period as Wynton?..... No I do not.
But many of his musical arrangements and compositions are very complex and pushing boundaries which takes b**ls and I give him his due respect for that. And, as stated by members here, his trumpet playing has evolved and IMHO is adequate.
I just received the "Blood On The Field" concept album comprised of suites and after listening to the whole of disc 1, I enjoyed it. It is not swing, be bop, or hard bop but is in a class of its own. I like a change from the same old same old from time to time and this fits the bill nicely.
