Performance

The JLCO with Wynton Marsalis

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra appears under the direction of trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, continuing a New York institution devoted to big-band repertory and new commissions. The program sits in a larger season that also makes room for events like *Oscar Peterson: A Centennial Celebration* and artists such as Jazzmeia Horn and Hamilton de Holanda. In a city where jazz history is often treated as nostalgia, the JLCO’s method is closer to archival practice: careful, public, and accountable to the music’s sources. It frames jazz as a living civic tradition rather than a period style.
