Last night we played the third and final performance of "Marsalis and the Masters", our opening concerts for Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2026–27 season. Here’s my solo on Chick Corea’s “Humpty Dumpty,” one of the pieces I arranged for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for this concert. Tomorrow, we hit the road for a month, starting on the West Coast. We’ll be playing in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Monterey, Rohnert Park, Cincinnati, Columbus, Lincoln, Brookings, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. In Cincinnati, we’ll join the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cristian Măcelaru for another performance of my new Liberty Symphony. The program will also include my Violin Concerto, performed by Nicola Benedetti with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in a reimagined version for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Follow us here as we make our way across the country, and visit wyntonmarsalis.org/tour for dates and more information.
