Jazz at Lincoln Center Premieres Journey Through Jazz: Fundamentals With Wynton Marsalis

March 10, 2022

This month, Jazz at Lincoln Center and Managing and Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis will launch Journey Through Jazz: Fundamentals, a new concert event created and hosted by Marsalis. An interactive, educational, and family-friendly experience, Marsalis will guide audiences through the evolution of jazz and the blues in America with his own wisdom and humor, paired with music from the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) in a rare performance in the intimate Appel Room.

Throughout the series, Marsalis and the JLCO will address the fundamentals of jazz, folk, blues, and swing. The concerts on March 18 and 19, 2022, will delve into the JLCO’s repertoire with American folk and blues selections from legends Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Leonard Bernstein, Wayne Shorter, and Jelly Roll Morton. Future Journey Through Jazz performances will be announced at a later date.

The Appel Room in Frederick P. Rose Hall is located on Broadway at 60th Street in New York, New York (just 20 to 30 minutes south of Harlem).

Tickets for the Journey Through Jazz in-person and live stream concerts are available for purchase via jazz.org/jtj.

Grand Seiko is the official timekeeper of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2021-22 season.

Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 34th season runs from November 18, 2021, to June 11, 2022.

In addition, to live concerts throughout Frederick P. Rose Hall, the organization offers webcast performances, in-person and virtual education programs, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis tour dates worldwide, and the release of the new Blue Engine Records titles.

Concerts during this monumental season re-affirm the art of swing, the engine of musical freedom in jazz.

All guests entering Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) venues must present proof of a COVID-19 vaccination authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and/or World Health Organization (“WHO”) for emergency use, with the final dose of their vaccine administered at least 14 days before entry.

Jazz at Lincoln Center has partnered with Health Pass by CLEAR, which provides secure, digital proof of COVID-related health insights via a free mobile app.

Guests can use the CLEAR health pass to confirm identity and vaccination status by downloading the CLEAR app (for more details, visit: https://www.clearme.com/healthpass). For the most efficient entry possible, we encourage attendees to enroll with CLEAR at least 24 hours before the event.

In addition to Health Pass, JALC will also accept physical vaccination cards or NY State’s Excelsior Pass (for more details, visit: https://epass.ny.gov), both requiring an accompanying photo ID.
