Wynton Marsalis Tickets

Precluded from in-person enjoyment of such concerts for many years, this reprise was joyous to the max. I was transported back to those few wonderful experiences and reminded of just how delightful they can be. WM and the LCJO remain vividly memorable for me not only because of the glorious music, but also the diversity of the group, white, black, old, young, men, woman, and more importantly their demeanor, their visible enjoyment of one another, their obvious support of one another, their attractive deference to one another, IOW, their humility, their devotion to making fabulous music as a team when every one of them is of star-quality soloist stature which each one subordinates to maximize their impact as a whole. Perhaps the most dramatic manifestation was the humility demonstrated by Wynton sitting in the back row, just one among the trumpets, never standing, never drawing attention to himself, always pointing to his colleagues, always stimulating audience appreciation of his teammates. Merely composing this review takes me back to tasting the night once again. And to give my precious daughter this chance to taste stacked privilege upon privilege. I struggle to rave sufficiently. Thank you, STG, for setting the pleasure in front of me.

I’d like the world to know if you missed this performance be sure to catch it if you can the next time wherever the Marsalis group is performing

A whole orchestra of virtuouso performers led by a legend. Perfect

4 of us attend the concert. 2 were life long jazz lovers. The concert exceeded everyone of our expectations for truly exceptional musical performance. One of our group has never experienced jazz and we were hesitant that they may not enjoy it as much as we did. Not so they said the would never see this much talent again for the rest of their life. As always Wynton’s humble persona makes you understand what a gift he is to the world.

Everything was perfect. Supper was delicious, the staff was attentive and the atmosphere was the just right.

As an amateur trumpeter, I was very excited to book seats at Jimmy’s Jazz to see Wynton Marsalis. The online sales site showed seats available with an unobstructed view. I bought two. The venue announced the door opening for 9:30PM so we arrived early. The doorman instructed us to start a second cue line, he’d get us in in 10 minutes. We and the other people behind us waited over a half hour while watching people arriving much later than us go to the first cue line and be escorted in and seated. We were repeatedly told “10 more minutes”. When finally being let in we were seated literally a minute before count off. The lights were lowered by then making it impossible to read the food and drink menu without turning on my cell phone light which would have been annoying to those around me. The seats shown as unobstructed view on the Ticket Master site were actually second row seats on a balcony and the view was almost completely obstructed by the people in front of us. I asked the waitress twice before she finally registered my issue with management. Then I was led away from the area and missed 10 minutes of a one hour performance wasting my time being told there is no remedy. So now we’re stuck craning our necks to look at a grainy video screen. The performer did come back for a 5 minute encore. If you are the type of person who was very much impressed by the emperor’s new wardrobe, Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club is your kind of place.

Wynton was really incredible-what a tone! Almost sounds like a soprano sax at time. Good use of dynamics-sometimes whisper soft at blazing fast speed. The band was adequate but no real stars-alto player was really an interesting player, piano player very good as well. Drummer and bass were just so so. Tenor player was like an ok college kid. Trombone player was excellent and played a gorgeous solo on a ballad for an encore. Wynton is obviously working with young musicians which is great, but did hurt the performance at times. Group was well rehearsed. All in all, two great sets, but the group could use another veteran or two.

Wynton was very good, when he did play. That was almost all at the beginning of a pretty short show - less than 1-1/2 hours. After the first few numbers, which were very bouncy, he pretty much let the various band members do their thing and run the show. The band was really good, especially the piano player, but it have been nicer to hear more of Wynton himself. The venue, as beautifully completely renovated as it is, did not seem to be able to handle the entrance of a capacity crowd. Granted, probably short handed, but it took a 1/2 hour before we were seated, several minutes already into the show. I don't know why they felt obligated to give EVERY concert goer a personal tour of the establishment before being seated. Point us to the bathrooms and concession and let us see the show, please.

What a wonderful concert by one of the best! Mr. Marsalis is the funniest teacher of jazz history, all while we playing the trumpet flawlessly. But that young band is what I am most proud of witnessing that night. Mr. Marsalis allowed them to flourish on the stage. He then gave them props when they showed their style and authentic emotion in moments where the music got good to them. Excellent night! Thank you so much Mr. Marsalis! Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club is by far one of the best places to see live music ever. The sound is phenomenal!

Amazing performance by a true artist. Wonton’s horn playing is fantastic. He is another performer who gave the members of the orchestra an opportunity to shine. Don’t miss an opportunity to see.

Wynton Marsalis and his superb musicians were outstanding, as usual! Wynton featured each musician as a performing soloist. The best of jazz and a couple of old favorites as well as cutting edge compositions were performed.

Every aspect of the show was amazing. Seeing Wynton and the Jazz Lincoln Orchestra was an experience that I will forever be thankful for.

I am happy to share my experience. I enjoyed the show immensely!!!! The music was great. It was my first time seeing Wynton Marsalis. He did not disappoint. The orchestra was amazing. I look forward to seeing Wynton Marsalis again!!!!

Do not miss the chance to see JLCO and Wynton Marsalis if you have the chance. wow - what a show!

Wonderful...wonderful show. We really enjoyed it. Nice venue as well.

What a thrill to see Wynton and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra! After two years of avoiding music venues and large gatherings in general it was a complete thrill to experience the incredible musicianship of each and every member of this storied group. I cannot overstate the emotional uplift that I and my wife plus all the other concert goers at the Paramount Theatre experienced! Wonderful music and vibe that must be experienced to fully appreciate! Thank you very much to Wynton and ALL the musicians!

Wynton never disappoints. With a star-studded big band of composers and arrangers, they put on a spectacular show full of burning fast, beautiful slow, and everything in between numbers. Not to be missed.

Wynton shared all the appreciation with the whole band. Everyone performing was highlighted at some point in the concert, and Wynton sat in the back with the other trumpeters. The only reason for one star less is it was hard to hear what Wynton was saying on some introductions, but musically they were 5 star.

We were very excited to see Wynton again. He did not disappoint and sounded perfect!
