Wynton Marsalis Tickets

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!

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.
