I also thought the Stanley Crouch/Wynton Marsalis episode of the Manifesto! podcast was a great episode on a consistently great podcast. It did cause me to reconsider Crouch and Marsalis. While I always appreciated their work, my mental shorthand was to think of them as talented, erudite but small minded. (I sort of thought of Tom Wolfe's "From Bauhaus to Our House" in the same way.) The Manifesto episode helped me understand the world from Crouch's and Marsalis' perspective.
This is a great interview. Thanks for sharing!
