and like you know Wynton Marsalis is recording when it's sleepy time down south so now you have this kind of complex thing where if you're thinking about what the guy meant in the 50s and 60s he's just kind of this harmless grandfatherly entertainer but if you're looking at him in the 20s and 30s he's this you know extraordinarily creative and innovative figure and also like a really inspiring one for black people There have been some arguments about how even later in his life, he still actually was a civil rights figure, maybe subtly.
