Soul Jazz of the 60s
October 22-24
Whether you call it hard bop or soul jazz, small bands like Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and the Cannonball Adderley and Horace Silver quintets produced some of the best-loved music of the era, combining tight ensembles with emotional solos that produced bluesy, church-driven, down home sound. The evening features two all-star groups led by two all-star musicians: Wess ‘Warmdaddy’ Anderson playing from his alto saxophone inspiration Cannonball Adderley, and Kenny ‘The Jazz Maniac’ Washington channeling his heroes Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and master composer-pianist Horace Silver.
Red Hot Holiday Stomp
December 10-12
Wycliffe Gordon and friends send you a Crescent City Christmas card, featuring their ingenious re-imaginings of classic holiday favorites. On hand once again are New Orleans’ sons Victor Goines, Don Vappie, Herlin Riley and others—not to mention the reindeer with the scarlet proboscis and the fat man with the bag. Watch Wycliffe demonstrate why there’s no snow in New Orleans: the music is so hot that nothing stays frozen in that city.
Jazz & Art II
February 4-6
The jazz critic Will Friedwald wrote, ‘Music is like painting in time, painting is like music in space.’ Kicking off this multimedia musical experience, Wynton Marsalis will perform a brand new suite inspired by such artists as Romare Bearden, Stuart Davis and Piet Mondrian, as interpreted by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. In addition, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra’s Ted Nash will revive his triumphant suite, Portrait in Seven Shades, which illustrates the visual styles of iconic painters Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Matisse, Chagall, Dali and Pollock in the language of the jazz orchestra. An enlightening approach to the art of jazz and the jazz of art.
Yellowjackets featuring Mike Stern
April 29-30 & May 1
There are fusions and then there are Fusions: we feature the genre-crossing music of the Yellowjackets with guest star Mike Stern, whose award-winning sound has made them international headliners for more than thirty years and twenty successful albums, including the 2008 smash Lifecycle. Joining them with some gloriously swinging music from the Pan Americas is the Colombian harp sensation Edmar Castaneda, whose incredible skill on the instrument must be heard to be believed.
