Winter Park Jazz Festival Tickets

Attended the winter park jazz fest and Saturday was the best day. Sunday began with a decent group "Tight Like that" followed by "Dotsero" and Chrisette Michele. Chrisette was terrible--man bashing, bible toting - bore! We pay to hear you perform not preachI Keep religion to yourself--most people don't care about your religious views. Boney James stole the show with an up beat sound and skillful artistry--he was awesome. We left when Brian McKnight started doing his intimate night club routine while surround by beautiful mountain scenery. It didn't work!

EVERY ARTIST AND GROUP THAT WE HEARD WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY SPENT I AM ALREADY PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR.

Great show with great music. all of the performers were outstanding. Sorry to miss the last performer because of the starting rain. Loved the general admission seating but hated the seats/chairs that have built in cover. They always seem to block your view wherever you sit. Glad they got rid of the tents .. seat umbrella next ?

GEORGE BENSON - Excellent! LARRY GRAHAM & GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION - Best of the Day!!! JAZZ, FUNK & SOUL feat. JEFF LORBER, CHUCK LOEB, EVERETTE HARP - Great! ELAN TROTMAN AND SPECIAL GUEST JESSY J - SUPER, esp. Jessy J! MARY LOUISE LEE BAND - Average BRIAN MCKNIGHT - Talented but NOT JAZZ. R&B Love Songs - BORING!!!! BONEY JAMES - BEST OF DAY--->High Energy AWESOME!! :) CHRISETTE MICHELE - Absolutely TERRIBLE!! DO NOT BRING BACK!! DOTSERO - More volume & noise than music. Rate as average. TIGHT LIKE THAT - AWESOME local band!

Great show, great location, friendly people, good food but not enough beer selections/varieties offered.

The venue over all was good, but some of the acts didn't fit as this is a jazz festival. Larry Graham and and graham central station was a let down after being entertained by Jazz Funk and Soul. Brian McKnight has a lot of talent but his style I wouldn't call jazz. He closed the show on Sunday. I would have loved to see Boney James close the show ! I have been going to Winter Park for the jazz festival for 10 years, I miss the mountain the park gets worse every year it is to small and they continue to cram more people in, and the ticket prices just keep going up. If you want to get in first the express lane is 25.00 per day as the VIP section is first come first serve. Katherine Ross who puts it all together struggles to get big name artists. I don't know if we will be back next year.

The lineup was great, that is why we were there. The facilities were good except for the restroom setup. We pay big bucks for this festival and have to use gross porta-potties. The one regular restroom always had a big line. Winter Park needs to build another regular restroom if you want to have a big event there every year. Food and drinks overpriced for what you got. A lot of people just went outside of the festival for affordable food.

All performer were outstanding. There were technical problems with some of the equipment but overall it was a great concert.

The early group of Jeff Lorber and co. were fantastic. They had no sound system issues either. We thoroughly enjoyed them. However, the last two groups including George, who was the reason for our attendance had sound system issues. To add insult to injury there was an inebriated woman in front of us who could not stand up. 25 minutes into my all-time favorite George Benson, we left. It was to be my 7th concert of his. I felt that between the sound system issues and what was probably going to be forthcoming from the inebriated woman, I felt it was time to go. Her boyfriend had been smoking during the event also and we had to get one of the "crew" to ask him to stop. The rest of the crowd was great; unfortunately we picked the wrong place to sit. From now on I will only attend concerts that are a small venue with specific reserved seating.

Enjoyed George Benson, Boney James, Larry Graham and Dotsero. Always is a great concert. Only concern was that there was too much R & B singing this year compared to previous years. Having both Chrisette Michele and Brian McKnight the same day and having McKnight end the concert did not appear to work well.
