Wynton Marsalis is leaving Jazz at Lincoln Center after over 30 years as its artistic and managing director. Marsalis established Jazz at Lincoln Center as a summer concert series in 1987, and oversaw the organization’s move to a dedicated venue, Frederick P. Rose Hall, in 2004. Outside his work with Jazz at Lincoln Center, Marsalis has released over 110 jazz and classical albums and won nine Grammy Awards. Ahead of Marsalis’ departure, Jazz at Lincoln Center has established two committees to focus on the transition. Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra have always been my main artistic priority as a musician and a citizen.”“It is time for new leadership to take the institution to even higher ground,” he concluded.
