I really enjoyed the movements I heard in Thousand Oaks and San Diego during the last tour; any chance this tour will be expanded to include the west coast?

Just wish and will hope to see Mr. Marsalis visit us more on the east coast perhaps at Mercer County Community college - West Windsor Campus.

It would be great when Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra visit each city the youth (K-12) have an opportunity to see them. I hope this music will be affordable for the public and the public schools.

Please consider bringing this tour the west coast- Portland would be ideal. But, I’d make the trek to Seattle to see it!

I’d jump at the chance to see this group. Please consider including Seattle on your tour. Best wishes.

Saw the band in Dallas last night (March 5) and they sounded great. The Basie set really swung; all the solos were artful crowd-pleasers, especially Sherman Irby’s solo, which was one of the craziest, most amusing dang things I’ve ever heard.
Ted Nash’s modern art-inspired suite was very entertaining as well as exhausting for both the band and the audience. I was disappointed that at the end of the suite, the audience seemed content to give a standing o but seemed resigned to let the band call it a night without coming back for an encore (The last time I saw the LCJO in Dallas a few years ago, Mr. Marsalis came back for a memorable, heartful solo of ‘Embraceable You’).
Even without the encore, it was a brilliant concert.
