Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Saw them at Zellerbach on Tuesday, 9/22. Heard Joe Temperley's most beautiful rendition of Ellington's "Single Petal of a Rose." Please, please go buy a copy of it. It is so beautiful. You will be reminded of Rumi:

We, who are parts of Adam, heard with him
the song of angels and of seraphim.
Our memory, though dull and sad, retains
some echo still of those unearthly strains.
