Jazz At Lincoln Center for January 13, 2013
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Music of the Modern Jazz Quartet
From its start in 1952, the Modern Jazz Quartet’s cool, understated style belied its complexity. Pianist John Lewis, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Kenny Clarke combined classical-music structures with the deep swing of jazz. The MJQ made vital music for over 40 years. Our quartet – drummer Lewis Nash, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Peter Washington, and vibraphonist Steve Nelson – honors those masters.
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.
