Frogman:
I 'assume' you think the Freddie and Clifford playing was better. I might agree, on this one instance, but I am sure they could all play it many, many ways. that is one of, if not THE, essential component of Jazz. Improvisation.
The classical piece was great. I have Wynton with the great soprano, Kathleen Battle, on 'Baroque Duet'. I also have him doing Trumpet Concertos by Haydn, Hummel and L. Mozart. Great playing.
As I have said before, he is more than just another Jazz player. He is a multifaceted Musician. At home in any genre. He can play Cherokee anyway you want it. Or he wants it.
Cheers
