Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Went to the CSO on Friday night to see the annual concert of Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. This year's concert featured one set with four pieces from the new Vitoria Suite album---see here for a raving review. Those pieces were indeed very nice and I may to grab the disc to hear the full suite. Thhis was followed by a number of pieces composed or arranged by different band members.

All in all a great concert. Hard not to love when you twelve-man strong brass section featuring four trumpets, three trombones, five saxophones supported by a nice rhythm section of three. Recommended.
