### 5/5 — You need to see jazz music performed to appreciate it

*2023-03-11*

This is a wonderful app for all ages.  Great value.  Perfect app for all ages.  Great way to introduce great music, great musicians, and the great American art form of jazz.  I had misconceptions about jazz music until I saw it performed live.  The musicianship, energy, and love poured into the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra performances and their guest artists is transformational.

### 5/5 — Loving it!

*2023-03-07*

Enjoying the archived content, looking forward to more to come! The app is really easy to manage and clean looking as well

### 5/5 — Great jazz

*2023-03-02*

Since 1949, I have enjoyed jazz. It started before 1949 but got me rolling with first the music of Charlie Parker n Dizzy Gillespie n delivered Miles in a cool format which I enjoyed because at my age, around 17 ot 28, I thought I was cool. 

At first I got thrown out of jazz clubs in Brooklyn where I lived because I ordered scotch n bourbon st the same time as something to drink. Kenny Durham was embarrassed one night when s customer broke a glass loudly by mistake during Durban’s solo. LTer hr complained about the lack of venues for jazz. I did got to Birdland n listened to Bud Powell, MJQ, Cannonball…and others before I joined the US Army n got stationed in France…

In Paris, I saw everybody who came to Paris from 1955 thru 1957… at Camelion, St Germain des Pres, Club Tabou, Mars Bar…and had to leave Paris to go to college which was why I joined the army. 

College, grad school, wife, kids, overseas assignments, but still jazz at Bradley’s or other clubs in the Village…and then when I came back from Hong Kong, Gordon David n Diane Coffee had s breakfast n I met this young musician. Wynton Marsalis. He stuck his hand out at the buffer table n introduced himself to an old banker at that time. 

I love jazz n the elegance of the notes, the history of its musicians n the impact on American culture.

### 5/5 — Jazz live is part library part live show

*2022-10-15*

What a wonderful app that livestreams performances from Dizzy’s & Jazz at Lincoln Center’s main stages. The archive videos are fantastic addition to the library of the app.

### 4/5 — Love the content; still needs improved functionality

*2022-10-14*

Love the content. If there is a way to stop stream and hold place, I can’t find it. Sometimes life happens and I really want to restart where I stopped. I may be missing something, but it shouldn’t take a lot of exploration to stop and start!

### 5/5 — Loving it!

*2022-09-30, version 7.621.2*

Enjoying the archived content, looking forward to more to come! The app is really easy to manage and clean looking as well

### 4/5 — Missing some functionality

*2019-12-15, version 1.9.4*

Recently changed from Android to iPhone.  The Android version of this app worked beautifully.  All titles were visible and it was easy to move back to the menu at any point.

With the Apple version, only half of the titles show up on the menu, and the only way to go back to the menu is to close the app and restart it.  Some kind of “back” button/feature would be a great addition!

### 4/5 — What a wealth of great music for jazz fans!

*2019-11-30*

Imagine being able to see everything at the Rose and Dizzy’s without having to travel to NYC!  This is Lincoln Center’s crazy good gift to you.

Knocking down this gift horse by a star, though, because of serious navigation issues. If there is a way to back out of the selected video to the main menu, I haven’t figured it out yet. Thus, if I want to get back to the main menu, I have to close the app entirely and start over.  Also, the app opens only in portrait and it’s not clear that the video plays in the more appropriate landscape mode - it does - so, like so many others, the app clearly needs to be optimized for iPad.

### 1/5 — no customer service

*2026-08-01*

impossible to get help when there are issues with live performances. you are sent in an endless loop of useless FAQs.

### 1/5 — Enormous, disappointing loss of quality

*2026-03-17*

Used to be a wonderful chance for jazz fans not living in or in longer living in NY to listen to JALC.  Unfortunately, with the start of the new season, there have been virtually no new additions to the On Demand library. Further, the music from Dizzy's sounds like it's coming from a deep cave. Speakers and singers are almost inaudible. There is only one camera angle, and the set is dominated by bright, extremely distracting lights hung near the windows behind and above the performers.  What happened?
BRING BACK WYNTON!!!!!

### 1/5 — Difficult to unsubscribe

*2024-08-27*

No phone number to call or chat for customer service.  I expected more from Lincoln Center.  I had to have my credit card company cancel subscription.  Sad because I admire the work of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

### 1/5 — No Rewind or replay

*2024-05-11*

This is the worst app ever. I even paid the $10 to watch my kid perform at Essentially Ellington. I turned it on and the app switched me to a previous performance without notice. Then I had missed his live performance and went to the video feed he was in, I couldn’t rewind. This is a terrible app. Don’t buy it.

### 1/5 — Not sure about this app. Don’t understand the chat feature.

*2019-11-04*

What is the chat feature about. Why would Ella Fitzgerald chat with Coleman Ornette?

### 1/5 — Nice start, but.

*2019-10-29*

The application is difficult to navigate.

### 2/5 — Expensive membership for options

*2026-06-13*

When it was launched, it was amazing. The options were way better and friendlier to people like me, who not always can catch artists while “ live”. Now the majority is from live only. I miss most of Dizzy’s as my schedule does not allow to catch while live.
Tonight as I tried to watch the talented Hamilton de Holanda, a technical glitch got the presentation stuck. Absolutely frustrating.

### 2/5 — Freeze Up

*2022-09-26*

Picture keeps freezing up when I play from my Ipad to an LG tv. Hopefully you will provide the app on the LG menu.

### 3/5 — Jazz live

*2023-03-10*

Difficult

### 4/5 — More!

*2024-08-17*

I absolutely love it, but it would be nice to have access to the full Dizzy’s, JALC catalog. I’d be willing to pay more.

### 5/5 — Funtastic

*2024-03-19*

Wonderful, marvelous, I have been blessed to have listened to the jazz at Lincoln Center orchestra several times there is nothing like a life performance but even better now for the “cheap” price of $100 per season I get to have the best seat in the house, the best audio through my Soundsystem and I get to see my wonderful friend Carlos Henriquez playing bass with the “Worlds Greatest Orchestra” this is the best app that I have on my phone

*2023-09-18*

Terrific music, live and from the archives. The Jazz at Lincoln Centre Orchestra is unparalleled. It is a joy to have access to their concerts as well as the other fine performers at Jazz at Lincoln Centre. The APP is user friendly and well designed.

### 5/5 — Jazz Live is Magnificent

Live shows fromJazz at Lincoln Center, and the other venues there ( Dizzy ‘s club and the Appel room) + on demand shows.
