    Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

    The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra's 15 jazz soloists, along with trumpeter and musical director Wynton Marsalis, draw from a repertoire that includes original compositions and masterworks by Ellington, Mingus, and Coltrane, and others. An extraordinarily versatile orchestra, the JLCO has been called "the greatest large jazz ensemble working today" by the Chicago Tribune. Marsalis, a driving force behind the Orchestra, is a nine-time Grammy Award winner.

    Tickets are required for this performance in Laxson Auditorium, range from $40–$55 and are available at the University Box Office 898-6333.
