Wynton Marsalis on Ed Bradley

Wyntoned


Wynton Marsalis, trumpeter, jazz musician, icon, band leader and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, talks with Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes about his friend, the late Ed Bradley:



"He embraced himself. He didn't run from himself. He understood that the
Afro-American culture is at the center of the American culture, and he was the
type of person that embraced the totality of our culture, meaning Afro-American
culture and American culture. They're inseparable, and he understood that. And
he represented that."



There is plenty of good video accompanying this article, too; video of both Marsalis and Bradley.
