Saturday Night @ The Sage Looks Good To Me.

I'll let The Sage's program pundit do the work because every word is on the money.

Described by Down Beat as "not just a band on tour, but a religious congregation, spreading the word of jazz", this is a big band in the classic mould, with a vast repertoire that stretches from rare historic compositions from the early days of jazz, through the music of the great big band leaders - Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson - and later masters such as Charlie Mingus and Ornette Coleman, to new music from within the multi-talented ranks of the Orchestra itself. "The finest big band in the world today." Daily Telegraph “A heady mélange of soulful lyricism, brash dissonance, festive rhythms and unbridled swing, [the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra] proved hard to resist.” Mike Joyce, The Washington Post Line-up: Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Printup, Kenny Rampton, Ryan Kisor - Trumpets. Chris Crenshaw, Vincent Gardner, Elliot Mason - Trombones. Victor Goines - Sax/Clarinet, Ted Nash - Sax/Clarinet/Flute, Walter Blanding - Sax/Clarinet, Sherman Irby - Saxophone/Clarinet, Joe Temperley - Sax/Clarinet. Carlos Henriquez- Bass. Ali Jackson- Drums. Dan Nimmer- Piano.
