The Paramount is thrilled to present acclaimed artist Wynton Marsalis and his Quintet for a Winter Fundraising Concert that is sure to heat up the winter night. Jazz musician, trumpeter, composer, bandleader, advocate for the arts, and educator, Marsalis has helped propel jazz to the forefront of American culture. His prominent position in American culture was solidified in April 1997, when he became the first jazz artist to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize in music. As Jazz at Lincoln Center’s artistic director and as music director of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Marsalis continues to spread the spirit of swing and raise awareness of jazz in the consciousness of the American public and the world.
