Crosby Stills Nash & Wynton Marsalis

my brother attended the lincoln center concert the other night of csn joined by wynton marsalis and the lincoln center jazz orchestra. by all accounts it was an amazing show and csn were in fine voice. i wouldn't be surprised if this recorded for a future release. a couple of clips from you tube.

Definitely breathing some new life into some old war horses there - cool stuff!

All the times I've seen them I've never seen Nash on stage in shoes - never mind in a suit!

 

They sound really good and I love the little jazz influx into the mix.

 

A review. Pretty insightful considering it's the Wall Street Journal!

actually the WSJ intelligently covers a range of music, especially classical and jazz. Their pop critic Jim Fusilli is up to speed too, with being burdened by Pitchfork-itis.

 

I will be seeing them at the RAH, London, in October. Alas without Mr. Marsalis.

 

He's a funny one, Wynton. "White" pop music is OK now? Money talks.

 

^ Taking his opinions on Miles Davis' 80s music and the purity of jazz into account.

probably a legal issue. shame.

 

Of course they also had Clapton a year or two ago. Kind of a shift but I guess if Wynton's chilled out in recent years it's not a bad thing.
