Gershwin brought jazz to the concert hall with works like An American in Paris, and the popularity of jazz quickly spread around the globe. We'll hear a sparkling jazz-infused concerto by Ravel and a driving Bernstein work featuring jazz clarinet. Not to bemissed is Wynton Marsalis’s ASO-commissioned American Symphony, which promises to be an exciting marriage of jazz and classical styles.

Incredible evening...Ravel, Bernstein, Gershwin. And then there was Mr. Charisma.
What a dud! Fortunately there were only 2 'movements'. An overly-hearlded, talent-laden but dry as bones trumpet player who holds himself off as Duke Ellington's progeny in terms of 'fathering' jazz, left alone for too long with too much money and too powerful computer software.
There was not an ounce of originality. And towards the end of the first mistake - I mean movement - was this amazing fart of sound from the stage. It was written that way.
Totally out of his league, but nothing that couldn't be fixed - by throwing it all out, getting a new composer and starting all over.
ON A HAPPIER NOTE...I don't recall that I have EVER heard the Symphony play better than last night (this abberation aside). Just top-notch!
Wynton: go back to the pulpit of condescending video - you're believable there, at least. And you can hire a college student to write for you.
