Jazz At Lincoln Center for May 11, 2008
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Essentially Ellington "
The nation's top high school jazz bands and the young men and women who make them swing converge on Avery Fisher Hall to Duke it out in our Essentially Ellington competition. This year, it's a bi-coastal showdown: ensembles from Massachusetts, California, Washington, and Oregon take the bandstand to compete for the crown. And check out this fierce generation of players. This "battle" rocks!
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.
