I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ONE. WILLIE & WYNTON ARE THE FINEST AT WHAT THEY DO,AND TOGETHER IS THE UPMOST IN A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER HIM PLAY. THIS WAS ON XM RADIO (WILLIE’S PLACE) LAST YEAR AND WAS ABLE TO CHECK IT OUT THEN. I LOVED EVERY MOMENT, NOT A BAD ONE IN IT. MY ONLY WISH IS THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN ON A DVD, AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET TICKETS TO THE ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE AT THE LINCOLN CENTER IN NYC. AGAIN IF YOU LOVE GOOD MUSIC YOU WILL ENJOY. HOUSTON, TX.
