Wynton proving again that he is a master in any genre of music: various styles and lineages of jazz, classical rep, modern art music rep, cornet solos, and now salsa.[/youtube]

I have a ton of admiration for Wynton. There are many players who play up there in the heavens, but few do it as well as Wynton. _________________ GeorgeB

Sailing on those high notes is a glorious ending on the solo but I am more impressed by his rhythmic and melodic fluidity, I mean you really have to be right on beat with this kind of music and you have to be locked onto the i iv V harmonic cycle. He just killed it in every way, like he always does.
It's amazing. I can hear New Orleans' sound in this solo, more than latin. He doesn't come from Salsa, yet this is a great addition to Ruben Blades' sound.

It never fails. There will always be posts on here that are really nothing more than back-handed compliments. I don't care whether or not Wynton is or isn't "really a salsero" or his solo was more New Orleans than Cuba. As far as I am concerned, the solo was terrific on it's own merit. And for the record, I have not always been a great fan of Wynton.
Thank you. If any person considers the mention of the New Orleans sound to be negative: it isn't so.
Thanks to the OP for sharing, and special thanks to the trumpet player who transcribed the whole solo:
Tavo Jaramillo.
On his youtube channel he also transcribed a trombone part from Trombone Shorty (another New Orleans superstar!), and a saxophone tenor solo from Michael Brecker.
