The Ladies of Duke Ellington
October 15-17
To Duke Ellington, music was his mistress: a sophisticated lady, a clothed woman and a tattooed bride. This special concert presents some of the most sensuous, romantic music from jazz’s all-time number one ladies man. Unchallenged in his accomplishment as jazz’s greatest composer, Ellington’s music is admired by all, especially the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, who plays it with élan, precision and soul.
Wynton Marsalis
October 29-31
Can you name another musician that has won nine Grammys® and a Pulitzer Prize? Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Artistic Director, founder and bandleader Wynton Marsalis, has composed for every type of ensemble, but has written some of his most compelling music for quintets and septets. For this concert, the full Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will join Wynton’s quintet (with tenor saxophonist Walter Blanding) as the trumpeter-composer guides us through some of his most spellbinding pieces. Special guests include the sensational tap dancer Jared Grimes.
Basie and the Blues
February 11-13
When Count Basie led the charge out of Kansas City in 1936 he showed the world a whole new way to play the blues. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis along with special guest pianist Mulgrew Miller bring Basie to life through the ingenuity of arrangers Sy Oliver, Don Redman and Neal Hefti. Emerging vocal star Gregory Porter will be on hand to interpret the great legacy of Basie blues singers like Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams.
The Music of Hancock & Roberts
April 22-24
In a program celebrating the works of two great pianists, Wynton Marsalis leads the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with special guest, (and frequent Hancock collaborator) vibes master Bobby Hutcherson, through a voyage featuring Herbie’s legendary jazz standards of the ‘60s. For the second half of the show, pianist Marcus Roberts joins the full orchestra with his trio to present a program of his own outstanding original works.
