My Take
Victor Goines earns my deep respect. A New Orleans-born saxophonist and clarinetist, he didn't just play jazz at the highest level, he directed the program at Juilliard and later ran Jazz St. Louis as president and CEO. That blend of artistry, teaching, and institutional stewardship is rare and genuinely valuable. Anyone can chase the spotlight, but few commit to carrying a whole tradition forward and shaping the next generation. I'm always drawn to figures who serve the culture as much as themselves, and Goines clearly belongs in that company.
