One of the finest big bands in the world, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra performs celebrated repertoire and original arrangements. Branford Marsalis, saxophonist, composer, bandleader and educator, joins the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for this special evening. Known as one of jazz’s most virtuosic bandleaders, he also performs as a featured soloist with acclaimed orchestras and pop supergroups like the Grateful Dead and Sting. His scores for award-winning films like the recent Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom provide a window into his talents as a composer of music across all genres.
With music direction by Walter Blanding, audiences will hear Sonny Rollins’s “Freedom Suite,” an instrumental protest piece that foreshadowed the Civil Rights Movement of the ’60s, selections from John Coltrane's iconic work "A Love Supreme," and Victor Goines's “Crescent City,” a tone poem about New Orleans.
