This should be a very interesting night of music! The website says both nights are sold out.

Wynton,
Congratulations on another milestone in the role you play in defining jazz as the common denominator for country, blues, rock and pop.
The concert with Willie Nelson on XM was outstanding…improvisition, humor, sound quality, arrangements, musicianship…and more importantly you and Willie really rocked with the band and played some incredibly expressive music in the ballads and slow blues.
Thanks to both of you and we look forward to the CD….soon??? We hope!
Best Regards,
Ron Murfin, Chairman
