Jazz At Lincoln Center for May 10, 2009
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Duke Ellington's Degas Suite"
We take you deep into the vaults for this extremely rare work, commissioned for an uncompleted film and barely played by Ellington's own band. Inspired by Edgar Degas's famous paintings of racetrack scenes, it shines like new in this Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra concert. Written by Andrew Rosenblum. Eric Reed 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.
