Wynton Marsalis Hosts Spectacular Around the World Manhattan at Club Dizzy's Coca Cola
Today Jazz Legend Wynton Marsalis hosted a spectacular event for Around the World New York at Club Dizzy's Coca Cola. Overlooking a sparkling Manhattan skyline with Central Park in the foreground, Enso 2007 joined Wynton and me onstage. I performed a musical tribute to Wynton and he responded with his trumpet. His musical response to my painting of the Enso, The Enso Blues got the guests on their feet waving their white napkins New Orleans style. Victor Goines responded in kind and Dan Nimmer gazed at the Enso over the gleaming Steinway with blues at his fingertips. This photo captures one moment of my performance of the Around the World poem.
More photos will appear on the project website, http://www.inasinglestroke.com/.
