Notable Family

[edit]

I took Wynton's brother Mboya off the intro as he's not a notable musician like the rest. If the consensus is to list all brothers, there is also another brother not previously included, Ellis III, who is not a notable musician. Musicandnintendo (talk) 14:36, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why no mention of his wives and kids? Intentional or just no one has yet done it? Homeboy (talk) 18:14, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's inexplicable and not at all encyclopedic. 98.123.38.211 (talk) 00:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a list of Wynton Marsalis's children (born to three different women; he has apparently never married):
  • Wynton Marsalis, Jr. (son, from a 1983-1991 relationship with Candace Stanley, a computer scientist)
  • Simeon Marsalis (son, from a 1983-1991 relationship with Candace Stanley, a computer scientist)
  • Jasper Armstrong Marsalis (son, with the actress Victoria Rowell)
  • Oni Marsalis (daughter, with Bernice Tsai)

If a reliable source can be found to back up the information above, it should be added to the Personal life section. But without a reference, it should not be added to this biography of a living person. NOLA1982 (talk) 16:16, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Marsalis has performed and spoken on every continent except Antarctica?"

[edit]

How is this unique or any kind of achievement? Every major artist has likely performed on every continent except Antartica. There is no reason for this to be here. Oats11 (talk) 04:12, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done – agreed; it is a pretty silly claim. We have aeroplanes: there aren't that many continents; there are lots of international artists. I've taken it out and replaced it with a quote from the same piece equating him with Bernstein. I felt this made more sense, though I am not deeply committed to that whole paragraph, and would be interested to see what others would make of it.
