​We most certainly were not disappointed by : JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA with Wynton Marsalis, who brought his "SPACES" Suite, a music and dance exploration, to the Performing Arts Center at Cal Poly on September 27, 2018. The show was produced by Cal Poly Arts, and we were thrilled they are bringing jazz of this stature to SLO.

Trumpet master Wynton Marsalis once again led this remarkable and hip orchestra, celebrating 30 years as America’s premier jazz ensemble. Marsalis’ acclaimed new suite, Spaces, combines street dance (jookin’) and tap dance with Big Band jazz in a playful and wildly entertaining exploration of the animal kingdom. Featuring dancers Lil Buck and Jared Grimes.

Herb Alpert & Lani Hall
Sat, Jan 26, 2019 8:00 PM
We saw this show at San Jose Jazz Festival and it brought back so many great memories and songs by Herb Alpert (formerly Tijuana Brass) and Lani Hall, who performs an entire set dedicated to her days with Sergio Mendes. Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist and philanthropist Herb Alpert is a man with profound passions – and a list of platinum hits: “The Lonely Bull,” “A Taste of Honey,” “Rise,” and “This Guy’s in Love with You,” to name just a few. But at his core, Alpert’s main passion is his wife – Grammy Award-winning vocalist and former lead singer with Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, Lani Hall.
You won't want to miss this fabulous show.
