Brooke and I saw Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra last night. I’m not a big jazz fan, but I’m glad Brooke impulsively ordered the tickets. I enjoyed the show a lot, but as always, found the jazz musician’s habit of sitting around looking bored waiting for his next solo annoying. The only performer who really seemed into things for the entire show, apart from Marsalis, was the drummer, Herlin Riley, who was excellent. When he finally soloed in the second to last piece, there was a collective whoop from the audience.

I agree. Wynton Marsalis in Minnesota would be awesome. The only other time I might possbibly be able to see him is in Chicago on February 13th 04…
And I’m only the only person who thinks his trumpet is the coolest horn ever… I’d trade my Bach Stradivarius for it any day…
