The nation's pre-eminent big band makes its way to New Brunswick for one night only with the legendary jazz musician/composer Wynton Marsalis. The first jazz composer to win the Pulitzer Prize in music, New Orleans native Wynton Marsalis also was the first artist to win jazz and classical Grammy Awards in the same year. His Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) features 15 of jazz music's leading soloists and ensemble players today, drawing from an extensive repertoire including the masterworks of Ellington, Mingus, Coltrane, and other great jazz composers, and original compositions by Marsalis, Benny Carter, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Joe Lovano, Marcus Roberts, Geri Allen, Christian McBride, and others.
