Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with WYNTON MARSALIS

Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with WYNTON MARSALIS

SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 2024 8PM

Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

Revered as one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time, Max Roach was among the first to use music to address social, political, and racial issues of his time. In this performance, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, led by Music Director Wynton Marsalis, celebrates the centennial of this trailblazing musician and bandleader, whose innovative style influenced generations to come. He was an influential member of the Charlie Parker-Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, performed alongside Miles Davis on his seminal Birth of the Cool album, and formed the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet. In 1961, Roach collaborated with his wife, the pioneering singer-songwriter Abbey Lincoln, and said in an interview with Downbeat Magazine that he would only play music that had social significance. 
 

Voted DownBeat Readers’ Best Big Band continuously from 2013-2016 and again in 2020, the JLCO has toured over 300 cities across six continents. As the Artistic Director of JLCO, Marsalis was awarded the prestigious National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Fellowship in 2011, recognized as the nation’s highest honor for jazz artists. The orchestra’s mission–to entertain, enrich and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education, and advocacy–is shown through their dedication to inspiring young musicians through numerous educational programs, as well as their commitment to proving that jazz is a universal language that doesn't discriminate–jazz is for us all.
