Thoroughly enjoyed the performance---musical selections, style and overall environment. Bring Marsalis and his brand of jazz back next season.

Rating: 5 out of 5 History in the Making Jazz Romp
by Panobattarama on 3/19/14Valley Performing Arts Center - NorthridgeSold Out!!! You missed a phenomenal show that will go down in history as the night Wynton blew his face off. The best trumpet solo ever played on Tiger Rag. Number after number rose higher than the previous. The only drag was the Henry Mancini gift to all the folks who can't appreciate Duke and Basie. They lost their minds over the theme from the Pink Panther, truly a sad moment, but I guess they butter the bread. Another lackluster moment that I've now seen in two L.A. gigs, is the elevation of Ted Nash, a mediocre horn player on a good day. We heard his disjointed composition based on a Lyndon B. Johnson speech (seriously) which involved the destruction of any type of melody and featured the horns and reeds blowing full blast atonally for five minutes. Sit him down! Other than that, perfection

by Xtorero on 3/19/14Valley Performing Arts Center - NorthridgeSimply the highest level Jazz ever! If one has listened to Jazz as long as I have you most certainly would find this orchestra the very best possible. Amazing is the word.

by H2021 on 10/9/13Chrysler Hall - NorfolkI normally don't go to many Gospel Concerts, however, the jazz component intrigue me enough to attend this event. What an amazing collaboration of two fine American traditions that was both moving and intellectually challenging to follow. The Chorale le Chateau members were all outstanding singers, while the musicians were some of the best to come Hampton Roads. What I most appreciated was Wynton Marsalis. He did not dominate nor did he appear to overshadow the other musicians, very classy of him. I have saved the best for last, Mr. Damien Sneed. He was brilliant, flawless and his time management was impeccable. VIRGINIA ARTS FESTIVAL, Kudos to this performance

by MistroNP on 10/8/13Chrysler Hall - NorfolkAbyssinian was as wonderful as a Sunday morning church service! From beginning to end, I was moved by everything I saw, heard and felt. There was such a cohesion between the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Chorale LéChateau, you could tell they mean what they perform!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Marsalis's Genius
by CadBob on 10/8/13Chrysler Hall - NorfolkThis was a spectacular, grand presentation featuring the essence of American music heritage. Wynton Marsalis proved his genius again in composing a substantial piece of work that succeeds in combining elements of folk, jazz, classical, contemporary and eclesiastical in an engaging, coherent manner that electrified the performers as well as the admiring audience. The participants appeared as excited in their rendition as they must have been when they first heard the piece in its entirety. Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center deserve high marks -- again.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Excellent performance!
by Brian75 on 6/21/13Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitI have seen Wynton play many times. I liked the fact that he opened the performance with an extended solo himself. Each performer had a chance to be spotlighted, and the lights were very bright. Every one of them was a monster and could have an entire show built around their abilities. Absolutely awesome performance by incredible talents!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Talent, Musicianship and Camaraderie
by The1949Bird on 6/21/13Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitThe Lincoln Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis played with great skill, wonderful expression, and nuance while playing a variety of styles with great arrangements. Their drummer, from the Great Cass Tech, reminded me of Max Roach. This was the kind of music that let my wife's restless leg syndrome fully express itself. The Sound Board is a great venue to hear the full dynamic of a group. Pianissimos can be heard, fortissimos don't make your ears ring and the music does not sound like mush. Great evening of music making and music listening

Rating: 5 out of 5 Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Orchestra
by SaxmanBob on 6/21/13Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitWynton Marsalis has solidified his place with the Jazz Greats of both yesterday and the contemporary jazz artist today. He places himself as a member of a great ensemble and not the defining artist. The multi-talented group of musicians that are all capable of carrying a show on their own demonstrated amazing skills on multiple instruments and carried not only musical expertise but also soul to their renditions of standards and also original compositions. I play a little myself and to be able to see masters such as these inspired me and demonstrated just how ridiculous their plateau of talent is!

by Anonymous on 6/21/13Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitExcellent concert. The entire orchestra was awesome and on some of the songs I wanted to jump out of my seat. My only negative comment I'd that it was too short.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Outstanding Performance, Excellent Venue
by RetiredLawyer on 6/21/13Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitWynton Marsalis is always amazing. Non-stop inspired jazz. He and his orchestra are always a pleasure to listen to, and even better in person. The Sound Board at MotorCity Casino is a beautiful venue. Seats on the mail floor (Sections 110-120) are at stage level, and are excellent.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Jazz at Lincoln Center and Wynton... Epic
by mfehan on 6/21/13Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - DetroitWow, what an amazing show. The really nice part for me was that all of the artists had a chance to be showcased with solos throughout the concert. Wynton was amazing as to be expected. Had a wonderful night and even the Fiance enjoyed it (didn't think she would). Thanks again for an awesone evening
