Got a Wynton Marsalis concert at 2 that my brother got me a ticket for. Weirdly enough I don't really feel like going now, after all this time... Been a hectic week, socialised heavily four days in a row, today is solo but I kind of want to just flop
We saw him last time he was out. The first half of the concert then was him playing jazz stuff and it was one of the best performances I’d ever seen. The second half was his own composition which just was not our thing at all and it was so disappointing. There was a guy a few seats along from us who had loved the first half too, standing ovation and whooping and everything, and in the second half he just slumped lower and lower in his seat and half-heartedly clapped a few times at the end.

For as much as my love for Jazz in general, I have to admit I had to look him up.
Also, is it… odd that when I looked him up that the first highlighted question was, “What’s the downside of Wynton Marsalis?”.
(On a silly side note, I totally dig his name.)
