Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) explore the deep and enduring connections between jazz and the African diaspora. Featuring selections from three of Marsalis’ original suites—Ochas, Afro!, and Congo Square—the program blends Yoruba-inspired portraits, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and Ghanaian musical traditions with the communal heritage of jazz handed down from 19th-century New Orleans.
