Making music. Conversations with composer/musicians
Description
Between the two of them, Wynton Marsalis and B.B. King have jazz, classical music, and the blues covered. What are these towering composer/musicians like as writers and performers-and as people? This NewsHour program shares a few moments of their lives to look deeper. Episodes include * Wynton Marsalis-Jazzing the Pulitzer: Charlayne Hunter-Gault and a 35-year-old Wynton Marsalis talk about his jazz oratorio Blood on the Fields and the Pulitzer Prize he won for it-in the category usually reserved for classical music. * B.B. King-Blues Master: Drawing on footage of B.B. King, his childhood friend the Reverend David Matthews, and King biographer Charlie Sawyer, Jeffrey Brown sheds light on the legendary blues master.
