Wynton Marsalis & LCJO - Big Train

Its 732 am 5years later. Here i am. Wonders never cease.

Herlin Riley's performance on percussion is amazing, both on this video and on CD.

I recorded this whole event on VHS, today I have it copied on DVD

This was a wonderful show, creatively allowing each performer to express themselves. They were all very impressive, thank you very much

Fantástico! La versión para publicar en cd se grabó después, en Diciembre de 1998, con algunos cambios en la orquesta (Farid Barron en piano, Rodney Whitaker en bass, y el agregado de Riley Mullins en trumpet, Roland Guerrero en percussion y Doug Wamble en banjo) El disco se publicó en 1999 como vol 4 de la serie "swingig into the 21st" y a mi gusto es algo mejor que la versión de este video, especialmente la parte de "smokestack shuffle". Saludos.

Was lucky enough to flip this on live in 1999, as a high school student, Amazing playing and composing!!

I too remember videotaping this on VHS. Great stuff.

Not sure of the broadcast date, but it was recorded on June 26th 1998. I know this because I was in the audience for the concert on my first date with my first wife 😀

Its 453am. I could not sleep. Somewhere in the back of my consciousness I sang the phrase big train in the east. Big train in the west and God allowed me to find this refrain I'd heard in this PBS special 20 years ago It was a remarkable evening. Thank you for taping it.

Saw them for Ellington's 100th tour, about a year after this performance.

there are times when I sit and listen to Ryan's trumpet solos and say to myself at points he's actually a better trumpet player than Wynton. Not trying to say Wyntons bad no in fact he's an amazing trumpet player but at times Ryan proves to be better when you listen to his solos

Ryan Kisor..!

I know this is old...but Ryan Kisor is KILLIN'!

I think this aired on PBS in 1998, possible early 98. I have a VHS of this Live at Lincoln Center broadcast somewhere. I may have worn it out I watched it so many times! Such a huge influence as a trumpet player and musician!

Fabulous vibe.  Don't you just love JAZZ!

Yes indeed...this is a lot of creativity. Thanks Wynton!

Thank you! I too recoded this, but lost it. Much better then the CD recording.

What a wonderful piece. Thanks ! 

Thank you so much. I have been patiently waiting.
