About Heroines, Desire, and the Pursuit of Happiness The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Heroines, Desire, and the Pursuit of Happiness is a Jazz at Lincoln Center program performed by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra under the artistic direction of Wynton Marsalis. Presented at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, the evening places Marsalis with the JLCO’s big-band ensemble and its long-running commitment to repertory alongside newly commissioned work. The orchestra’s history is rooted in collaborations across the jazz field, and this project frames narrative themes through orchestration and ensemble interplay. Their approach favors precision and swing over spectacle.
