Continuing our high-demand annual tradition, Wynton Marsalis rings in the New Year at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, this year with an all-star quintet of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra members. Led by nine-time GRAMMY® Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Wynton Marsalis, the group’s repertoire includes originals from Marsalis and his band mates, as well as a diverse selection of favorites from throughout jazz history. With an array of straight jazz, blues, bop, New Orleans music, and Marsalis’ own extended compositions, music fans will find a lot to dig into during these sets.A shining example of polish and discipline, the group navigates these demanding pieces with deceptive ease, leaving room for expressive, subtle detail and off-the-cuff interaction. Most excitingly, every player gets plenty of time to solo – and these soloists are endlessly resourceful, all recognized leaders of their craft
