LCJO Concert at the Winspear

Tonight Megan and I went to the Winspear to see and hear the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. The audience seemed to be generally older than we were, but it was a great show! Those guys are amazing – the stuff they can do is so hardcore!

The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (LCJO), composed of many of the finest jazz soloists and ensemble players today, has been the Jazz at Lincoln Center resident orchestra since 1998. Under the leadership of music director Wynton Marsalis, the LCJO performs a vast repertory spaning the history of jazz, from masterpieces by composers such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Thelonious Monk, and Charles Mingus, to commissioned works by Benny Carter, Joe Henderson, Jimmy Heath, Chico O’Farrill, members of the LCJO, among others.

Good times 🙂
