Opening Night

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, composed of 15 of today’s finest jazz soloists and ensemble players, opens Strings’ 24th Season on July 1. Under the direction of Wynton Marsalis, the big band performs a vast repertoire, from rare historic compositions to commissioned works, including compositions and arrangements by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Charles Mingus and many others.

Jazz at Lincoln Center Artistic and Music Director Wynton Marsalis was born in New Orleans, and began his classical training on trumpet at age 12. He entered The Juilliard School at age 17, making his recording debut as a leader in 1982 and has since recorded more than 70 jazz and classical albums which have garnered him nine GRAMMY Awards. In 1983 and 1984, he became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz GRAMMYS in the same year. In 1997, Mr. Marsalis became the first jazz art-ist to be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in music for his ora-torio Blood on the Fields which was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center.
