Wynton Marsalis Tickets

The event was , as always, excellent. Wynton has made a good job inviting those guys to play with him.

I had not been to a jazz show for over a decade and this orchestra made me want to listen to more live jazz. The marvelous Marsalis, who seems like one of the happiest and coolest dudes on the planet, has assembled a group of musicians that play great and have fun doing it.

Excellent ensemble. All players were fabulous musicians.Separately and together they were tops. Wish it could have lasted longer but understand they had to perform twice in one evening.

Wynton Marsalis has put together and amazing group of musicians not to be missed!

Absolutely phenomenal concert -- the Lincoln Center jazz musicians are the best of the best in the country, and Wynton Marsallis can't be beat for chops -- finesse, technical mastery, swingin' New Orleans style, creative, plus a great sense of humor which keeps the entire evening light and relaxed. Every musician is an excellent soloist in his own right -- the pianist is especially amazing.

The band played great. Tight. Every one of the musicians was highlighted at some point during the show and they all were terrific. I can't wait to hear them again.

Changing the venue turned out to be ok (from Copley to Mandeville) but the show was only 1 hour 15 minutes long. The musicians were extremely talented (the drummer was phenomenal and of course Wynton) but the show itself lacked showmanship. It felt like we could have been watching a rehearsal. There was little interaction with the audience (except when Wynton introduced the songs). The group enjoyed playing for themselves and if those of us who spent big bucks happened to enjoy it too, then that was good but didn't seem to be their goal.

Jazz at the Lincoln Center was absolutely great. I just wish it had been longer. My husband and I took our son and his girlfriend and were so pleased that they enjoyed it too. They are both 20-somethings and relatively new to jazz. They were impressed with the talent showcased last night. I also wanted to mention how delighted I was with the ease in which I was able to exchange the tickets once the venue was changed. UCSD handled everything so professionally.

I drove from Rancho Cucamonga, 2-1/2 hrs to hear Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center orchestra. I was expecting a variety of jazz . All of the sets were MONK , after a while seemed to sound too much the same. Why not mix up with Ellington, Colrane, etc??

Wynton Marsalis is so personable, he makes you feel as if he is talking and playing only for you in your living room sitting around jaming, laughing and telling stories. The musicians are extraordinary in the Lincoln Center Orchestra. My husband and myself loved the entire concert, especially the end, when the entire audience would not sit down and stop clapping until Wynton and his orchestra came back on the stage and played one more time. Unbelievable!!

Great set! Don't need to say much, you're always going to get an amazing performance with Wynton and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

An amazing night of talented men playing the music they love. That came through loud and clear tonight as all 15 musicians displayed their passion and expertise on every instrument. Wynton is a gracious host, telling relevant stories and involving the audience in the joy he feels for playing jazz. If he's headed to your town, you will love it.

It was Wynton Marsalis that I went to see, but every musician in the group was beyond belief.

I've never heard such greatness in music. I left with the thought... WOW! Can't believe what I just heard. Each musician showed their personal character in their music sound. Wynton was amazing. I would have liked to have heard more solos from Wynton. I hope that the Thousand Oaks Civic will bring him back; and have more jazz artists perform at the Civic. Nothing can be as clean sounding, though, as the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Very gifted musicians!! Thanks so much for this event.

I am so glad that I was able to share this performance with my 80 year old mother. She loves the horns from the big-band days and had never had the live jazz experience. I couldn't keep her quiet! Wynton's charm and easy way with the group of players he has on tour with him was a delight. Their extemporaneous bits were a thrill and joy!

Wynton Marsalis has incredible stage presence. His interaction with the audience is so endearing. The pieces that were performed were perfect. Fantastic evening!!!

Such talented musicians! My husband and I bought great seats for our anniversary and we loved every minute. Wynton Marsalis has a nice sense of humor and tells some short, interesting stories. It is obvious the musicians love to play and perform for the audience. I highly recommend this concert of very professional artists! I loved that they were all wearing suits and ties.

Fifteen consummate musicians led by the incomparable Wynton Marsalis . . . what more could a jazz aficionado ask? As Marsalis said, they were playing for us, the audience; if they wanted to play for themselves, they could have stayed at home. And the whole show was indeed a crowd pleaser, characterized by fine solos and brilliant ensemble work. The modest, humorous, and althogether winsome Marsalis sat in his back-row trumpet section, generously sharing the glory with the entire group.

Incredible assembly of the BEST jazz players in the world. Featured were the extraordinarily noteworthy arrangements by Ted Nash and each of the talented featured players wowed the audience. The concert ran the gamut of styles -- from the playful Teensy Weensy Spider and Old MacDonald's Farm to the impressive salutes to jazz greats of old, this was FIRST CLASS. The only disappointment was that it had to end.
