BUY TICKETS – Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra’s FRI, JAN 28 concert will be broadcast live as part of Fridays Live, available to all SFJAZZ Members.

A 2011 NEA Jazz Master and arguably the most famous jazz musician alive, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis is an iconic figure in the evolution of the art form and a tireless advocate for jazz as America’s classical music. He returns for four nights with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the greatest large group in jazz.

From his New Orleans beginnings and fiery debut with legendary drummer Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers to his string of acclaimed albums and current role as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Marsalis has amassed an unrivaled number of awards and accolades, including nine GRAMMYs and the Pulitzer Prize for Music, the first ever awarded to a jazz artist.

Since 1988, he has led the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a 15-piece assemblage of virtuosos which has contemporized the notion of a “big band,” simultaneously honoring the rich heritage of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong while debuting a stunning variety of commissions from illustrious names including Joe Henderson, Christian McBride, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Lovano, and of course, Wynton himself. This rare San Francisco appearance is a major jazz event, and we are delighted to welcome them back to the SFJAZZ Center.
