Wynton Marsalis
Wynton Marsalis is known for his strong opinions and his controversial appreciation of the history of jazz. Today, Marsalis talks about one of his biggest passions: the classic Hot Five recordings of Louis Armstrong. In a program this week at Jazz at Lincoln Center, he's attempting to "re-imagine" these masterpieces. Also: the guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela got started playing thrash-metal in Mexico. Now they're known for their virtuosic acoustic renditions of such rock songs as "Stairway to Heaven" and Metallica's "Orion." They join us with a live performance.
