SUMMARY:The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis: Duke in Africa
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE CONCERT\nDuke in Africa is a powerful tribute to Duke Ellington’s profound connection to the African continent. Staged nearly 60 years after Ellington’s historic performance in Senegal, this concert explores how the legendary composer’s works drew inspiration from African rhythms and cultural themes.\nCo-music directors, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra’s own Chris Lewis and Alexa Tarantino, lead the JLCO in a dynamic program featuring selections from Ellington’s works: Afro-Bossa (1963), a lively blend of Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms; Liberian Suite (1947), written for Liberia’s centennial; and Togo Brava Suite (1971), a Grammy Award-winning composition.\nDiscover how Ellington’s music cuts across cultural boundaries, rooted in African traditions, and resonating with audiences worldwide.\n
