The Sound of New Orleans Jazz

Wynton Marsalis, born in New Orleans with a magical talent for music, started his career at age eight with the Fairview Baptist Church band. With years of music in New Orleans under his belt, Wynton moved to New York City to attend Julliard in 1979 and after playing with other bands and starting his own, Wynton co-founded Jazz at Lincon Center in 1987. Despite his many years in New York, Wynton is deelpy rooted in New Orleans raising over $3 million for musicians and cultural organizations affected by Katrina. Wynton gives his time and money to many groups and impacts thousands of lives in a tremendous way. His music is outstanding and his character even better. With all of the celebrity drama these days, Wynton is a true role model and his music is not to be missed. Lucky for us New Yorkers, he's coming back to town. I have seen him once and that is NOT enough! Catch his show October 13-15 or December 15-17 in Rose Theater at Lincoln Center. A little New Orleans jazz will always cure the Notheastern cold and the desire for home around the holidays! Click here to buy tickets.
