Wynton Marsalis Septet
Lobero Theatre Wynton Marsalis has been described as the most outstanding jazz musician and trumpeter of his generation – a level raiser whose breadth of talent is equated with genius. One of the world’s top classical trumpeters, a big band leader in the tradition of Duke Ellington, a brilliant composer, a devoted advocate for the Arts, and a tireless inspiring educator, he carries these distinctions well. His life is a portrait of discipline, dedication, sacrifice, and creative accomplishment. Wynton is taking new steps and, in doing so, achieves a sometimes-mystical radiance in his writing and performance. From his skilled and adventurous composition to his swinging virtuosity, music will forever be changed, and our melodious landscape fundamentally enriched.
It has been said that he is an American musician for whom greatness is not merely possible but inevitable. To date, Wynton has produced over 60 records and has sold over 7 million records worldwide, including 3 Gold Records. With his collection of standards, he reinvigorated the jazz musician’s relationship to the American popular song.
The sound of Wynton Marsalis’ band is inspired by the basic principles of democracy. According to Marsalis, what you hear in a great jazz band is the sound of democracy. “The jazz band works best when participation is shaped by intelligent communication.” This intelligent, hard swinging interplay has made Marsalis’ bands the favorite among jazz musicians and audiences worldwide.
