AWESOME CONCERT! I love when musicians come together to bridge gaps between two genres! Not that jazz and country have never come together before, but this was just a very special evening! I happened to catch about half of this concert on the XM’s Real Jazz. I’m a HUGE Willie fan and a big Wynton fan! Let me say, Willie ALWAYS sings the blues!
DOES ANYONE KNOW, WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF THIS?!?!?!

I listened to this concert several times on xm. I have listened to willie since I was a child and have started listening to jazz in the past few years. This was an excellent intertwining of the music styles. Please, please, please let me know when the cd will be released.

Does anyone have a list of what songs will be on the album? (Album? Damn, I am old!)? I would love to know. I am already intellectually salivating over the CD and need some kind of fix. I missed the original broadcast so all I have is my anticipation!
