Woody Allen and His New Orleans Jazz Band Tickets

My husband, son, and myself loved the show!! The musicians were awesome, and we loved the music!!! Would see them again!! ;)

We brought our teenage sons to see this perfomance of Woody Allen and his New Orleans Jazz Band. The group went way beyond our expectations. No bantering, no wasting time, just an hour and a half of great music. The 30 minute encore was fantastic, too.

How fun it was to see Woody in person and watch he and his band play with passion. I would see them again.

A great night of music by the Great Woody Allen, sharing his love and respect for his bandmates and the music he so loves.

You felt like sitting with a bunch of friends and listening to their music. Uncomplicated , free spirited and just enjoyable.

You could tell that this is a band that has been playing together for years. Everybody plays their part, nobody tries to steal the show, great rhythm. Enjoyable experience, beats expectations.

We were expecting to have a little chatter from Woody since his name was what drew usto the concert . He announced that they just played for fun and I wondered who was getting paid from good ticket prices and what appeared to be a full house. That aside the band displayed a good level of musicianship ,tempos varied a little bit but could have used more uptempo tunes . The singing added relief from tunes all sounding alike. Woody's clarinet sounde as if he was playing on a very poor plastic reed. The lower octave was hard to discern the pitch from some wierd overtone generated by the reed.His upper register went very sharp and his staccato style didn't blend with the band. I came to see Wood y and I did. His sound and style was a disappointment. The evening was still enjoyable.It was kind of like being in his garage only no one was talking to each other.

My wife and I attended, sitting in ground floor seats about halfway back. The music was refreshing and the band obviously enthusiastic. Great musicianship on the part of all. Woody got all the attention and adoration of the crowd, but it was his band that made the night worthwhile. They could carry anybody.

If you are a fan of Woody Allen films, you are accustomed to the Dixie-style jazz that accompanies many of the soundtracks. And you are also aware that the great film talent has another very serious pursuit--playing clarinet with a group that gets together on a regular basis (you may remember he didn't accept his Best Direct Oscar because he was playing with the band that night in N.Y.). After years of curiosity, I finally got to hear Woody Allen and His New Orleans Jazz Band as they performed tonight at Royce Hall at UCLA in Los Angeles to a sell-out crowd. This was a polished, first-rate Dixieland jazz band which happens to have a very famous film actor-director-writer playing the clarinet parts. It was like listening to a live score being prepared for one of his movies. It was delightful, comprehensive and highly professional. Other than thanking the audience for coming at the beginning and introducing the band members at the end, Woody focuses solely on being a member of the band made up of piano, drums, banjo, trombone, trumpet and his clarinet. Can he really play that thing? If he hadn't become a filmmaker, he could be making a living as a top-rate clarinet player who can handle some pretty dynamic solos. Should you ever get a chance (I'd been waiting 40 years), you'll want to see the musical side of Woody Allen.

If it wasn't for Woody Allen, there would have been absolutely no reason to have been stuck in the concert hall. I have seen garage bands for free that were better than this band. Lucky Woody Allen. He is rich and famous. He can buy his own night and be a star.

Overrated group...not worth the price...would not recommend

One hour and 45 minutes of non-stop, great music. Very much enjoyed!

I expected a lot more. Many songs downers and some hard to hear

What can I say?...First of all, I could not believe that I was actually "seeing" Woody with my own eyes. I have adored him since I was very young. My father was a big Woody Allen fan and also a Jazz enthusiast. I grew up to appreciate Jazz. So basically, I had the best of both worlds in one night. My 10 year old son also enjoyed the show. He plays cello. According to him, the cello would contribute just as much to jazz , as the bass. LOL Thank you for an amazing night. Love you Woody!

Don't expect the greatest New Orleans Jazz Band ever but it was quite an enjoyable evening. The band was clearly having fun and the feeling was contagious.

Great performance, went above and beyond expectations, 20 minute encore (1:40 performance total)

We enjoyed ourselves. So entertaining and fun. Lively and Quick. No conversation to speek of, just great music.

The band for the most part was good. Woody was fun to see but I really think this kind of music should be seen at a small jazz venue not a concert hall. Some of the players were not great musicians but then Woody did say they get together for fun. In that case, maybe they shouldn't be charging so much for tickets. I would have liked to have seen a female singer with a huge jazz voice. I think that would have added a lot to the band.

As expected. they came, they played, no break, good music, they went . On the downside, the taping and picture taking allowed was distracting and kept the event from a five star evening. We consider taping to be theft and feel it should not be allowed not to mention totally rude and obnoxious to others.

Played their hearts out. Even the vocals rocked. Wish they had a sax player along.
