Overview
Versatile, spontaneous and hard-swinging as ever, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis presents an all-Duke Ellington program packed with masterpieces from throughout his lifetime. Ellington is best remembered for hits such as “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing,” “Sophisticated Lady” and “Mood Indigo.” For one electrifying evening only, join JLCO and Wynton Marsalis for a celebration of one of the most influential figures in American music.
