Whished I could be there in person….but that´s life. If I get to manage technology (I´m not a handy one)it could substitute a little bit the real thing.
ALL THE BEST TO SWING SYMPHONY
In Wynton´s powerful swing we trust!.
Amazing F.Stewart´s zenithal pics of Musicians, Wynton and Sir Rattle in battle field.

You can in a couple of days, buy (E 9.90) an archive pass for 48hrs that will give you the right to watch it as many times as you can, and will most likely be without minor, although a little frustrating technical glitches that were present (mostly on the video side) .
showed he can beautifully execute intricate musical creativity, Marcus Printup and Ryan Kysor were definitely there, as well as the Bones (Vincent Gardner and Cris Crenshaw).
and Sir Rattle (about 15′ or so) , and finally the Swing Symphony for another hour or so. Get yourself a drink, a good chair, turn off the phone and ENJOY.
This was simply BIOAUTIFUL, following pretty much the evolution of jazz to an earlier point, starting extremely well, letting people know there were in for something strong and beautiful. It was a balanced wedding of classical symphonic expression and jazz, with completely awesome classical players (their sounds !!! maaa, violins, cellos, flutes, brass, percussions….). Everybody soloed and oh boy Joe Temperly line (Bari Sax) was so soulful and MASTERFULLY delivered in his approach, both altos were deep down awesome (Sherman Irby and Ted Nash) , WindTon
The violins were given some stricking swinging parts in par with the horns and and took us “tripping” so to speak (oh what a language for a classical symphony orchestra !). It did not felt like it was written for pure technicality and there was a lot of warmth in both the writing and the playing. Everybody loved it so much, that they applauded even after a particularly moving solo and in between movements.
This was the result of deep seated intentions and long building musical dreams, lovingly delivered by everybody.
(As we learn in the insightful interview before the show, it had been talked about 15 years ago) It was such a pleasure to see EVERY performer enthusiasm!!!!
I can’t say I was stricken by any particular themes. There were some beautiful lines by various parts of the orchestra behind the “main lines” of the jalc, yet it was not an arrangement, as this “faux pas” had been crossed out by the participants (see their interview).
I wish I could listen back to make sure I cover as much as possible, and render justice to the intentions and everybody.
I can STRONGLY, STRONGLY encourage you to wait a couple of days and treat yourself to a 2 + hours program of the highest caliber, with first Petruschka by Stravinsky for the 1st hour, then the interview with Windton
The audience was raving and for an encore we got treated to a joyful blues with solos from everybody and some very spirited members of the Philarmonic, violin, french horn, clarinet.
Everybody was happy, and smiling to no end…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A vibrant and living proof that creatif human and expressive hearts, can reach the artful hungry living soul in all of us. Bridges can be gapped.
