About Diaspora ConnectionsJourney Through Jazz: Overtures to Africa The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Diaspora ConnectionsJourney Through Jazz: Overtures to Africa The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is a jazz ensemble heard at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, where its programs trace the music’s ties to the African diaspora. In projects such as *African Routes*, the group works with pianist-composer Danilo Pérez and saxophonist Godwin Louis under the direction of Wynton Marsalis, placing new writing alongside established orchestral language. The approach is research-minded and rhythmic, shaped by cross-cultural collaboration. Their performances favor structure and clarity over spectacle.
