Tour

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis performs choice instrumental arrangements from the books of such key Swing Era units as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Tommy Dorsey. Performing the band singer function is the sensational 23-year-old 2010 Thelonious Monk Competition winner Cécile McLorin Salvant, whose ability to refract the styles of such iconic performers of that era as Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and Valaida Snow with 21st century freshness, expressivity, and soulfulness gives new meaning to Marsalis’ mantra “all jazz is modern.”
