The 21-city trek is scheduled to launch Jan. 16 in Ann Arbor, MI and roll through several college campuses throughout the West Coast and Midwest. There will also be a Jan. 18 stop in Chicago for the orchestra's continuing Jazz For Young People series.
The fifteen-member JLCO - formerly known as the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra - is anchored in the venerable New York performing arts theater and is the official house orchestra for Jazz at Lincoln Center activities. They've toured annually over the last 12 years, performing compositions and arrangements made famous by composers such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus, as well as commissioned works by Benny Carter, Joe Henderson, Jimmy Heath, Chico O'Farrill, members of the JLCO and others.
The current JLCO features music director Marsalis, along with Ryan Kisor, Sean Jones and Marcus Printup on trumpets; Chris Crenshaw, Vincent Gardner and Elliot Mason on trombones; Walter Blanding, Victor Goines, Sherman Irby, Ted Nash and Joe Temperley on reeds; Dan Nimmer on piano, Carlos Henriquez on bass; and Ali Jackson on drums.
