Hill Auditorium
Cool School & Hard Bop
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
Sherman Irby, co-music director
$15-20 student tickets available
They’re back! For the first time since their 2022 University of Michigan residency, Wynton Marsalis and the 15-piece Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra return to Hill Auditorium.
The cool jazz movement is known for its mellow lyricism and striking, often surprising arrangements, while hard bop is distinguished by its bluesy melodicism and virtuosic vocabulary. JLCO saxophonist Sherman Irby is the co-music director of this program, which explores the shared themes of these two genres. The performance includes reinterpretations of iconic recordings by Miles Davis, the Modern Jazz Quartet, the Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet, Horace Silver, and Art Blakey, alongside newly commissioned works by Benny Green and Luther Allison.
Valet parking will be available beginning 1 hour before the performance for $30 per car (cash only) on N University Ave in front of Hill Auditorium.
