Lincoln Center Jazz Ork Announces Fall Tour

  I  

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis will embark on its Jazz Masterpieces tour across the U.S. from Sept. 8-Oct. 3, kicking off concerts and events in anticipation of the big band’s 20th anniversary next year.

The band will perform selections from a variety of eras including big band arrangements of the legends of Blue Note records—Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Horace Silver—as well as Count Basie’s Kansas City Suite. In addition, the group will take on new and original music from JLCO soloist Ted Nash’s piece “Portrait in Seven Shades,” inspired by works by modern artists Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Vincent Van Gogh.
