Jazz at Lincoln Center Gala 2011

What a night it was. Lisa Schiff thanked her daughter Ashley during her speech at Jazz at Lincoln Center telling everyone that it was Ashley who came up with the idea for Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton to do a show together and then Ashley made it happen. The gala night was the first of 3 concerts which raised over four million dollars. The first night alone raised over three and a half million dollars.
After the amazing concert everyone headed to Roselands. There were musicians galore. As I walked in the first person I saw was John Legend congratulating Wynton.
After dinner people made to the dance floor.
I am still spinning from the night. To view all the photos please click on The Jazz@ Lincoln Center Gala Link

Eric Clapton and Wynton Marsalis at Jazz @ Lincoln Center

I am having most amazing week. It started on Monday at 10 am. I have been sitting in on rehearsals at Jazz @ Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton. Eric came to NY to play 3 benefit shows and together these guys came up with an extraordinary play list. It has been awesome watching Wynton and his band collaborate with Eric.
And if that was not enough Tah Mahal flew in on Wednesday to open for the guys last night. Here are the official photos that I took that were released to the press.
After the concert the dinner was held at Roselands. When I get through with all the concert photos I will post the party pic's.
