About The World in Swing
At Jazz at Lincoln Center, The World in Swing brings the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra together with Wynton Marsalis for a large-ensemble survey of jazz repertoire. The program frames swing not as nostalgia but as a working language, shaped by ensemble discipline, arrangement, and collective pulse. In New York City—where big bands have long moved between dance halls, theaters, and concert stages—the orchestra’s ongoing presence functions as a public institution for the music. One clear point emerges: this is education by performance, with history carried in the details.
