and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Under the charismatic leadership of Wynton Marsalis, the house ensemble from New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center comes to Brighton following a landmark residency at the Barbican Centre. Described by Down Beat as 'not just a band on tour, but a religious congregation, spreading the word of jazz', this is a big band in the classic mould, with a vast repertoire that stretches from rare historic compositions from the early days of jazz, through the music of the great big band leaders - Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson - and later masters such as Charlie Mingus and Ornette Coleman, to new music from within the multi-talented ranks of the Orchestra itself.
