African Routes: Danilo Pérez & Godwin Louis The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra
About This Event
At Jazz at Lincoln Center, African Routes pairs pianist-composer Danilo Pérez and saxophonist Godwin Louis with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis. The program frames jazz within African diasporic lineages, combining Pérez’s cross‑cultural rhythmic writing and Louis’s explorations of Benin and Kongo-derived material with the JLCO’s disciplined big‑band arranging and ensemble focus.
