Wynton Marsalis Delivers Romantic Standards At Lied Center
Jazz legend Wynton Marsalis, at 33 a towering figure, led a three man rhythm section through a Valentine themed set at the Lied Center. He offered chocolate dipped renditions of standards including The Man I Love and My Funny Valentine with Eric Reed on piano and Ali Muhammad Jackson Jr. and Reuben Rogers on drums and bass. Marsalis paced like a schoolmaster, guiding but letting the trio loosen up on Stardust Speak Low and I Got Rhythm as Reed delivered adventurous solos and the group recovered on Cherokee.

The Brooklyn Side Bottle Rockets Review
Brian Henneman and the Bottle Rockets blend rock and country in a rural pickup truck style. The songs on Welfare Music feature a single mother and a baby with cassette tapes from the bargain bin while Queen of the World delivers a poignant country ballad. The band nods to ZZ Top Chuck Berry and Hank Williams, with mandolin and fiddle backing Henneman’s reflective storytelling.
