Dedicated to preserving America’s jazz heritage, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra returns to the Palladium with more than a dozen of the finest soloists, ensemble players and arrangers in jazz music today. Founded in 1988 and led since 1991 by world-renowned trumpeter and artistic director Wynton Marsalis, the big band spends over a third of the year on tour, performing a vast repertoire that ranges from new commissioned compositions to rare historic works, including compositions and arrangements by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Thelonious Monk and other greats.
