Woody Allen and His New Orleans Jazz Band Tickets

I really didn't know much about Woody Allen's ability to play a sax, but this concert blew me away. In his self-deprecating way, he said he was an "amateur" and the other members of his band tolerated him. Far from it. On his solo pieces, he was good. And he was right--the other members of the band were fantastic. Every one of them played amazingly well and also sang on certain songs. This was an evening well spent.

I was pleased to hear a very enjoyable number of New Orleans jazz tunes performed by a good group of musicians. That Woody Allen was not at the same level of performance as his fellow musicians was not a problem for me. I was just happy to see a terrific film maker having a good time with his love of music. Seeing him, remembering the great and funny film moments was satisfaction for me. I would have gone to see another comedy great like Groucho Marx, if he had a decent band, and Groucho was just playing a kazoo!.

I expected so much more from this concert. Woody was sitting on his chair with his head down, and it looked like he was napping, and once a while he put his few sour notes. Other guys were fantastic musician, and actually they were doing the show. But it lacked something, some spirit. They finally got connected with the audience at the end, and the best part of the concert were the encors.

105 minutes of constant smiles. Seven fine musicians showing off their chops via instrumental and vocal solos. They really looked like they were having fun and it was contagious. Standing ovations were rewarded with 15 additional minutes of joy.

I you want to hear good Dixieland music go elsewhere!

Great light enjoyable music played by all. Woody gave his own personality in his playing. It was fabulous to see him in this new configuration. Would've loved to hear him speak more.

I usually enjoy groups like this ...homegrown early jazz (dixieland or whatever you want to call it), but I couldn't get past squacky sound Woody Allen made on his clarinet. I guess some might say it was his signature sound, but I just couldn't take it. (I am a clarinetist by the way. Not a professional, so don't think I am uppety about clarinet tone quality). I stuck it out to the end because the person I was with wanted to hear the whole thing and he wasn't quite as bothered by this as I was. I was hoping for a little more music and a lot less noise. :(

The performance was excellent. Everything we could have wanted. The seats and venue were the best.

Loved the concert. I would totally go see it again. Great music. Woody Allen is a man of many talents and his band is just as fantastic if not more.

Woody Allen is my favorite director, and I also really appreciate jazz. Seeing him play live has always been on my bucket list, so I gave myself this Christmas present, and I wasn't disappointed. His whole band is amazing and ridiculously charismatic, and just to see Woody play on stage was oh so fine...

I highly recommend this event, fun for all ages! The music is uplifting and keeps you moving. Intermittent singing highlights certain numbers. I've gone five times and plan to attend whenever they play LA.

Worst clarinet playing I have ever heard. The band members were excellent. I am glad I went since the overall experience was well worth it. We also found a great new place to eat in Westwood.

I am a big fan of Woody Allen movies, but had no idea that he had a band. I stumbled onto the event online while I was searching for tickets for something else and could not resist. The music was fantastic, and the band never took a break. They played continuously for nearly two hours. It was an unforgettable evening that I would highly recommend to anyone who likes jazz music and/or Woody Allen. I just wish I had known of the event sooner so that I could have purchased better seats! It looked like it was a sold-out show, which was amazing in itself since it was 2 days before Christmas!

Two of my favorite things: Woody Allen and jazz. Simply incredible. Utterly dreamy. The energy and charm of this show was insanely thrilling. I still can't believe I shared a room with Woody Allen. It is one of the most memorable moments of my life, of which I will never forget.

Of course I had to see this. On the very day that I arrive for my L.A. vacation, one of the world's most celebrated (and controversial) movie directors indulging his hobby at the intimate Royce Hall on the UCLA campus. It was fun, if a little short on personality. While Allen's clarinet solos won't make anyone forget Benny Goodman, he is actually pretty good (though he did have occasional trouble hitting the high notes). The setlist was a mix of old New Orleans-style jazz and blues standards that were hits by the likes of Bing Crosby and Jelly Roll Morton once upon a long ago. The band were all very good players, and all but Allen took turns occasionally serenading the audience. I had hoped for some info on the songs, but Allen kept his commentary limited to the welcome at the start of the show and the band intros at the end. A young couple seated next to me left less than halfway through the 90 min. show; one wonders what they thought the show was going to be since the type on the ticket didn't leave anything to the imagination. Oh, well. I'm very glad I went.

This event was absolutely magical! I highly recommend to people of all ages, as this type of music is so universal and transcends time.

Great band with great energy! We had a lovely time.

I was really looking forward to seeing this performance and it wildly exceeded my expectations. It had heart, soul and band members that were truly enjoying themselves. They came back for twice for encores. At the end no one could stay in their seats, people were sitting on the floor, something truly special was happening....

Show started on time, went long, had a great number of solos, a little humorous narration by Woody (including an acknowledgement that he is NOT the band's leader), and really took you back in time to when jazz ruled the nation!

This was an event that caused HAPPINESS. I was laughing spontaneously just because I was feeling so good. The band members were having so much fun. There were a few people in the audience that came to the front and stood up blocking the view. The ushers seemed reluctant to even ask them to get down. But Woody and the band were absolutely the best. We LOVED it.
