This performance is part of Wynton Marsalis’ final season as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and Music Director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Marsalis reimagines the music of jazz’s great masters, like Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, and Wayne Shorter. Performed by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, these big band arrangements bring fresh scale and depth to works that shaped modern jazz.
Saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin, who was hailed for playing “with appropriate majesty” (AllAboutJazz) on her 2020 album of John and Alice Coltrane compositions, opens the night with a celebration of John Coltrane’s centennial.
