Jazz At Lincoln Center for January 13, 2008
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Congo Square"
Impassioned cries and percussion from New Orleans's Congo Square - where plantation slaves could nourish their own music - inspire Wynton Marsalis's and Yacub Addy's epic work for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Odadaa! -- a nine-piece Ghanaian drumming and chanting troupe. Written by Lauren Krenzel. Wynton Marsalis hosts.
Jazz at Lincoln Center's Peabody Award–winning radio series, Jazz From Lincoln Center, is hosted by Wynton Marsalis and broadcast weekly to over 240 public radio affiliates nationwide through the Jazz Satellite Network. The show features the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra along with contemporary jazz composers and performers.
Jazz at Lincoln Center is the world's largest not-for-profit arts organization committed to promoting the appreciation and understanding of jazz through performance, education, and preservation.
