To all those who read the recent discussions on Wynton Marsallis’s future effect on Jazz on here.
I made my monthly pilgrimage today to Barnes and Noble to pick up "Gramophone" , established in 1923 and the Bible of Classical Music( I buy Jazz times too ) . On the cover it said "Nicola Benedetti records Wynton Marsalis’s music" ).
Despite her name ,Benedetti was born and raised in Scotland and is Scottish to the core . So much so she took a year off as one of the most wanted jetset classical violinist in the world to master the fiddle rep. of Scottish folk music.
. An heroic act because the fingering etc is far different .
She is THE greatest exponent of genre blending in the Classical world and the most dedicated to educational outreach .
She has recorded Wynston’s Violin Concerto ," Fiddle Dance Suite"
with the great Philadelphia Orchestra / Cristian Macelaru Decca 485 0013DH
The magazine devoted 4 pages of thought between her and Wynston . a lot along the lines discussed here at times (unusual) . Review is long and deep, ends with "Honestly , its hard to believe its written down at all ."
And these reviews are the most respected in the world .Its the August edition as American edition is always a month late.
Seems worth 12 bucks to anyone interested in Wynton to me .
