Nearly 40 years after founding the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Wynton Marsalis leads his final season as music director, concluding a transformative tenure that elevated jazz nationwide. “Wynton raised it up to make it what it should be: a true art of American culture” (Gordon J. Davis, founding chair of Jazz at Lincoln Center). In Chicago, it has been an honor to have Marsalis and the orchestra call Symphony Center their second home. This performance promises to swing as hard as ever — an evening to remember as we celebrate a legend.
