Jazz from Lincoln Center

KPBX 91.1, Thursday, 10pm-11pm


“We don’t just play jazz—we teach it, we write it, we dance it,
we sing it, we present it, we photograph it, we film it, we produce it,
we archive it, we record it, we broadcast it, we commission it,
we celebrate it, we love it, we share it.”
– Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director, Jazz at Lincoln Center

Comprised of 15 of the finest jazz soloists and ensemble players, the world-renowned Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra
has been JALC’s resident orchestra for more than 10 years.
