We are delighted to welcome back “the greatest large jazz ensemble working today” (Chicago Tribune) for a special night of holiday cheer. The band will be joined by the phenomenal Cameroonian-American vocalist Ekep Nkwelle along with the acclaimed young singer and pianist Robbie Lee. Please note that Wynton Marsalis will not be performing at this concert.
Formed in 1988, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra has been the standard bearer of the large group format for over 35 years. The 15-piece assemblage of virtuosos has contemporized the notion of a “big band” by simultaneously honoring the rich heritage of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong while debuting a stunning variety of commissions from jazz’s greatest names including Joe Henderson, Christian McBride, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Lovano, and Wynton Marsalis.
