He actually shut down my band director from high school. It was a great moment, because our band director wasn't a very good jazz teacher, just a good taskmaster, so we didn't place in the competition but I got me two soloist awards.
The play that I will always remember is my band teacher trying to post up Wynton, and he spun, popped, and got the shot denied. It was amazing.
I dislike what Wynton is doing to jazz, making it into a classical art form, but that's inevitable of all music, and if Wynton doesn't do it, someone else will. But however much I disagree with that elitist, he has my respect on the hardwood, haha.
