Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra / Wynton Marsalis
1/22/2010 9:30 PM at The Allen Room - Smokin’ Jazz Sessions The Beats of NYC: A Culture Slam
, New York, New York 10023
Cost: $10 and up
For our first-ever Culture Slam, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra drummer Ali Jackson takes a look at the function of the beat in contemporary music, dance and spoken word and how they tangle with the classic traditions of jazz percussion. Ali will present an evening of original compositions and re-imagined interpretations of Duke Ellington, Horace Silver and Dizzy Gillespie to explore this collision of rap, tap, poetry and song. Special guests will include Hope Boykin from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and pianist Marc Carey.
