Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
Some nights you go to a concert. Some nights you go to watch an era close. This is the second kind, and the people who understand that will be in those seats whether or not it was a sensible week to spend the money.
Wynton Marsalis has led this orchestra for a generation, turning a big band into the keeper of an entire American art form, and this is his final season directing it. He is spending part of that farewell on John Coltrane, a centennial program for the man who bent the saxophone toward the sacred, played under open sky by the finest big band working today. Lakecia Benjamin opens on saxophone before the orchestra takes up the Coltrane book.
The Hollywood Bowl on a September evening, on the most beautiful stage in Los Angeles. The straight-ahead faithful will be there to mark the end of something. Go sit among them.
