Led by Wynton Marsalis, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra presents the European Premiere of The Democracy! Suite as well as a selection drawn from their vast canon of jazz masterworks.“Jazz music is the perfect metaphor for democracy,” says famed trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.
At a time when America, and indeed, the whole world, finds itself at a crossroads, the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer has been inspired to write a poignant work, The Democracy! Suite, which proves that the joy and beauty of jazz can bring us all closer together. Now a digital album from Marsalis and a septet composed of members of the famed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, The Democracy! Suite features impassioned compositions that are a reflection of turbulent times, urging us into action.
Presented as a two-part concert, a septet will perform the European Premiere of The Democracy! Suite for the first half and for the second half, the full orchestra will perform a selection of works drawn from their vast canon.
