Branford Marsalis: Not impressed by college students

Bookmark and Share

I don't know the context of this clip, so take it for what it's worth, but this is jazz great Branford Marsalis commenting on today's college student.

Marsalis is currently an artist-in-residence at N.C. Central University. In this short clip, he has this to say about college students:

"The only thing they're interested in is you teling them how good they are and how smart they are."

Zing!

It isn't clear when this video was shot or if Marsalis was referring specifically to students he encounters at NCCU. It appears to come from a documentary entitled "Before the Music Dies."
