335 - Wynton Marsalis: How to Find the Jazz of Life: Embrace Your Creativity

The James Altucher Show

Wynton Marsalis is one of the best and most well-known jazz musicians ever. I had him on to talk about creativity. He’s made over 80 albums, sold over 7 million records, and won 9 Grammys (all unbelievable). He even won the Pulitzer Prize in music, which is the 1st for jazz. Now Wynton’s the Managing Director & the Artistic Director for Jazz at Lincoln Center. Wynton’s whole life is about being creative. He’s learned how to transform art from its existing state into something entirely new. That’s a skill. And that’s what we’ll dive into in this conversation: how you, too, can become a master of your own creativity.

Show Notes:

Read Wynton Marsalis’ article in The New York Times, “What Jazz Is and Isn’t” And listen to some of his music on “United We Swing: Best of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Galas”
