Wynton Marsalis Tickets

Been to lots of concerts-never heard music like that before-what a treat for the senses!

An array of jazz both to the seasoned veteran and the inspired young. Journey of stable jazz favorites and new that needed a vivid explanation.

The last time we saw Wynton he played with 3 others in his band. This was different since he was just a part of the full jazz orchestra. Although it was good we were dissappointed that he was not the solo event. I liked that they used different pieces of jazz, some old and some newer. I especially enjoy jazz when I recognize or know the tune.

Wished we could have had more Marsalis! Could have listened for anothe rhour

The Lincoln Center Orchestra was excellent. Wynton was great but I would have liked more of him as a solo.

The opening act was the Berks County High School All-Star Jazz Orchestra, which featured very polished and accomplished playing considering the musicians' age. The JALC concert opened with a bit of banter from Wynton (though not as much as I thought we might get). The first 4 or 5 numbers were Basie tunes and the soloists blew the roof off the place. Next were two compositions based on the art of Romare Bearden and Winslow Homer, respectively, and these were intricate and impressive. The concert ended with four movements from saxophonist Ted Nash's seven-movement suite, Portrait in Seven Shades. Each piece celebrated / represented the work of an artist: Dali, Picasso, Chagall and Pollock. The work was challenging at best and cacophonous at times. Much of the four movements featured pretentious experiments with time signatures, atonality, and dissonance. Over all it was disappointing that a concert that began in such a swining and lighthearted fashion would close in such a pedantic, leaden manner.

After listening to the Berks County All-Star Jazz Band, the audience was pumped for Wynton Marsalis and his orchestra. They started off with a tribute to Count Basie -- jazz's "bread and butter," per Marsalis -- and moved onto several original pieces by various members. Of note was a tribute to Harlem, that flowed and ebbed the way you might imagine a city street would. The group closed out with 4 pieces from a 7-piece retrospective based on famous artists on exhibit at MOMA. The four played here were Picasso, Pollack, Chagall and Dali. Although I personally don't like the artists, how the music captured what each is known for is unbelievable.

Excellent concert and musicianahip. The pictures evoked by the 7 Movements were vivid.

Wynton & friends were terrific!!!! I would recommend a concert to everyone--and to get a ticket to see them as soon as you can!

I went to see Wynton Marsalis; however, there were very few solos by him and other musicians in the orchestra were featured. They played most of the songs from their new CD and suffice it to say, the music was strange. I did not enjoy the concert at all and would not recommend it to anyone unless they are into ultra progressive jazz, if you want to call it that.

I really liked the first part of the show.The song selections were good and very well played.The second part of the show didn't have any continuity,it was a bit chaotic.. I applaude the instumentalist they were all very good.I would liked to have heard some real familiar tunes played with the jazz concept intwined in the playlist An example would be jazzing up "When The Saint's Go Marching In". .

Music in its pureist form with delightfull innovation.

I knew the orchestra would play well,but I was captivated by "Portrait in Seven Shades" by Ted Nash (also one of the performers). I can only imagine the excitement that audience felt during the premier performance at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Well done!

Marsalis and crew was amazing, entertaining, and intellectual. I loved the combo of old school and new school jazz. Something for everyone. The presentation was informal and inviting to music lovers from all levels. Louisiana needs more sophisticated events such as this show. I forgot that I wasn't in New York!

The artistry was innovative, scholarly and amazing!

It was an unforgetable concert. I am not an avid Jazz fan but enjoy Wynton, so I decided to attend. Also to support the local Arts Council and their events. I am so glad I went and the seat was in a great spot. The Orchestra was frindly, enviting and not all uptight. They engaged the audience with a family spirit.

Great show; great artists. I realize that Wynton's name was used to sell the concert, but was a little disappointed that he wasn't featured. None of the compositions were his, and he did very little solo work, yet his photo was used to sell this concert.

Innovative, creative, original, and highly skilled musicians treated the audience to a sound experience like no other. When musicians are one with their instrument, magic happens. Each member of this "band" as they call themselves, has that magical quality. That Ellis Marsalis was there and joined the group for a number was, as we say in Louisiana, "Lagniappe"! If you look up jazz in the dictionary, "Marsalis" should be in the definition. Keep playing, keep teaching, keep writing, and keep the beat going. A FABULOUS EVENING!

Their first song selections were incredible. When they slipped into their new stuff - it was boring. We left at intermission since the last half was going to be more of the same morphid music - which I don't call jazz :) But hey..each to their own

I've always liked Jazz, but I now have a new found appreciation for this genre. Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra put on a wonderful performance! One I will never forget! They did things with their instruments that are beyond words! The music goes deep down in your soul. It's wonderful to be apart of an experience such as this! I would go see them again in a heartbeat!
