PopMattersd. 7. juni 2017afafWill Laymand. 7. juni 2017"The Music of John Lewis is a useful reminder that John Lewis was a truly great jazz musician because he provided a majestic take on the music of this generation and was an under-appreciated seeker. Lewis seemed to know that expanding the harmonic and rhythmic freedom of the music would have an end point and that grappling for forms and styles would provide the post-modern future of jazz. In this concert, knowingly or otherwise, Jon Batiste and Wynton Marsalis get to that truth".Læs anmeldelse

The curator of the concert contained herein is Jonathan Batiste ... The date is a tour de force; it's to be hoped that Batiste will continue to present his abilities as a hardcore jazz voice to his now exponentially expanded fan base".
