About Wynton MarsalisCatherine Russell and Friends

Wynton Marsalis and Catherine Russell appear in New York City as part of the programming at Jazz at Lincoln Center, often alongside the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Their work draws on the language of big band, swing, and jazz ballad traditions, with Ellington repertory a recurring point of focus, including performances connected to *Black, Brown and Beige*. Marsalis is closely associated with the institution’s orchestra and repertory-driven projects, while Russell brings a vocalist’s command of lyric and narrative. Their performances favor clarity and historical detail over spectacle.
