Since the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra made its
UMS debut in 1994, the ensemble has performed in Hill Auditorium nine times, with each performance igniting a sense of incredulity for what the group delivers. The 15-member ensemble is comprised of the finest jazz players on the scene today, and their vast repertory — ranging from rare historic compositions to newly commissioned works to new takes on old classics — makes them a veritable repository of jazz history. Led by the incomparable Wynton Marsalis, who conceived and built this ensemble into the irresistible force it is today, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra performs some of the greatest arrangements of our favorite songs — swinging and supple, sophisticated and spirited — and reminds us all over again how great music becomes legendary. These life soundtracks — “April in Paris” arranged by Wild Bill Davis, “Summertime” by Gil Evans, and many more — elevate the everyday and make the mundane magical.
