I have to chime in here and again stick up for Wynton Marsalis. He is very well respected in the music world not just for his impeccable technique but also for his musicianship. He takes the same bad rap in the jazz world that someone like Alfred Brendel does in the classical piano world. Both of these artists have incredible depth to them, and both are among the most versatile musicians in the world. Some folks seem to feel that because they are cerebral players, that this means that they couldn't possibly have heart. I think such arguments are absurd, and usually are based in anti-intellectualism. Wynton is a very soulful player.
