A musical treat for two--the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra presents a rare concert devoted entirely to Wynton Marsalis' original music!
The concert is at 8pm on Thursday, June 7, 2018 in the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center complex at Columbus Circle.
In addition to a broad selection of favorites drawn from Marsalis' legendary career, the centerpiece of the evening will be the world premiere of Marsalis' new extended work: (The Ever-Funky Lowdown). This JALC-commissioned piece is the latest entry to Marsalis' renowned canon of music exploring America's relationship to racial matters, a topic he revisits once per decade. This subject has yielded some of his best work: the 1986 Grammy Award-winning Black Codes (From the Underground), 2007's From the Plantation to the Penitentiary, and 1994's Blood on the Fields the first jazz composition ever to win a Pulitzer Prize.
