Had a chance to catch up with the legend that is Branford Marsalis!!
We chatted about everything from catching taxis whilst black to playing standards, the difference between playing Giant Steps and really playing Giant Steps, Botany, The Green Book and why he's no longer interested in playing for the youth!... plus a whole lot more
recorded for BBC Radio 3 JAZZ NOW

Branford has absolutely no problem disagreeing the person he's talking to. It really sort of throws the other person off and they don't know where to go next because most people don't do that. But it's really refreshing to see, and there is nothing wrong with it. Branford obviously thinks a LOT about the things he mentioned in the interview. He really is a deep thinker. I hope he puts his multitude of thoughts into some coherent written form. His honesty and lack of pretension is rare, and a good long book would be very welcome by many.

Super Dope talk! Would’ve loved to hear what records Justin Faulkner was given to help him expand his jazz vocabulary ( 19:07 ) Is there a recording of the interview in its entirety?

What were Branford's record recommendations for Justin Faulkner? The edit cut it off!

I hung out with Justin Faulkner backstage once and he said that when he joined Branford's group, B gave him a hard drive with 1000's of songs, and then told him to listen, and then when they would be on the road they would start talking about tracks that were on the hard drive, laughing, pointing out awesome musical phrases, rhythmic moments, etc....I wish I could remember the exact pieces Justin mentioned

Branford is very engaging and interesting. It's best not to constantly interrupt.

Jazz in society, Branford has an interesting perspective. Like what he said about movies, they aren’t about truth they about what sells. I think ideas, perceptions like that help explain our current ‘post-truth’ society.

I like to be a local banksy. man I disagree in Germany things are possible!!!!!!!! its okay when you do no more want to jam with younger musicians so often. I understand that from a graphic designer point of view. hey can you help me doing this and that? can I look over your shoulder?
