The David Murray Band and the familiar tunes of Nat King Cole were wonderful to hear, especially for someone just learning how to appreciate jazz. I loved the chorus of saxophones.Written on Nov 15 2011

Great show! It started late (10:25pm), but the group was still playing at 12:25am when we left.Written on Nov 15 2011
We enjoyed every minute of the performance and were especially surprised when we were told that we had reserved seats. Thank you, Goldstar, for the great table and the terrific evening!

Great lineup - he brought first class musicians from NYC. It was refreshing to hear his take on Nat King Cole en Espanol. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.Written on Nov 14 2011

One conjures up what will be heard when 'Nat King Cole' is referenced.Written on Nov 14 2011
This concert did not come close to my idea of his music.
This was more of a jazz jam ensemble that had numerous solos ad nauseam.
Interesting, but not great.

Description
For many enthusiasts, David Murray is already a jazz legend, if we look at the number of albums he has recorded, of concerts he has performed and at the number of awards with which his career to date has already been crowned (Grammy Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, Bird Award, Danish Jazz Bar Prize, musician of the ‘80s by the Village Voice…). However, just over a quarter of a century into his career, his music still expresses the verve and inspiration of youth, throughout a career which is prolific as much in terms of output as in terms of musical orientation (from the World Saxophone Quartet, of which he is one of the founders, to his octet, not forgetting his big band and the encounter with the Gwo Ka Masters of Guadeloupe, amongst many other groups and creations), all of it with the greatest musicians. David Murray goes down as a worthy successor for some of the biggest names in jazz, and he is now contributing to the rise of young talents such as Lafayette Gilchrist, a young pianist who has already been widely acclaimed by the critics.
