Notes on the Program
By Willard Jenkins
This evening’s program promises some very
timely reflections on a vivid era, when many
jazz musicians and composers were vigorously reacting to the profound sense of
social change bubbling up all around them,
reacting with often heroic music from perspectives of anger, hope, spirituality, and resolution. The program’s title speaks volumes—Free To Be: Jazz of the ‘60s &
Beyond. The evening will interpret musical
signposts of those times, as contributed by a
select sampling of great compositions: John
Coltrane’s prayerful “A Love Supreme,”
Charles Mingus’ righteous, politically angry
“Fables of Faubus,” Ornette Coleman’s
“Ramblin,” with its explicit forward motion,
and Dave Brubeck’s pensive “Lost Waltz.”
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with
Wynton Marsalis is perhaps the most
resourceful large jazz ensemble on the
planet; each season, different members
are challenged to refresh the band’s book.
This evening’s performance is a classic
example of a program in large part curated
by one such resource: saxophonist Walter
Blanding, who will contribute an original
composition and a re-working of the Sonny
Rollins classic “Freedom Suite” for large
ensemble. The latter challenge required a
neat bit of musical architecture from
Blanding, considering that a relatively spare
but robust saxophone-bass-drums trio performed Rollins’ original recorded presentation of that masterpiece. In a time of roiling
political uncertainty and deep division over
principles of freedom in this country,
“Freedom Suite” is an apt expression for
our times. “Considering that it is almost
impossible to represent more than a
decade of music in two short sets,”
Blanding says, “we plan to represent some
important moments musically during the
decade of the ‘60s. The ‘Freedom Suite’
will be the first piece of the evening and
serve as the starting point of our journey.
The goal of the entire program is to feature
all members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra.”
Like Jazz at Lincoln Center’s managing and
artistic director Wynton Marsalis, Walter
Blanding is the proud product of a musical
family; born in Cleveland, his late father
Walter Blanding, Sr. played bass, and
mother Audrey, piano and keyboards. A
member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra since 1998, Blanding, schooled
musically in New York, matriculated at
LaGuardia High School of Music and Art
and the New School. Eventually he
migrated to Israel to teach music, opening
his own private music school and hailed as
“Jazz Ambassador to Israel” by
Newsweek International.
Blanding’s original composition, “The
Happiness of Being,” is sure to be the
evening’s centerpiece. In crafting this selection, Blanding was inspired by distinct periods in the general ‘60s human condition
and by touchstones of the African American
experience in particular. The mission of the
piece is to convey a sense of the principles
embodied in freedom. “‘The Happiness of
Being’ focuses on how we individually and
collectively view the whole concept of freedom. Instead of making a very specific political statement, I choose to use a more universal concept that can be understood and
appreciated by anyone. The thematic thinking that went into this piece is the simple
idea of identifying or recognizing a problem,
acceptance of that problem, and finally
coming to a resolution,” Blanding says. “It
is my belief that experiencing these three
aforementioned things results in a kind of
freedom. It’s my intention to help heal our
minds and souls through the sharing of this
musical journey together.”

Meet the Artists
Walter Blanding
Walter Blanding (Music Director, Tenor
Saxophone) was born into a musical family
on August 14, 1971, in Cleveland, Ohio. He
began playing the saxophone at age six and
by age 16 he was performing regularly with
his parents at the Village Gate. Blanding
attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School
of Music & Art and Performing Arts and
continued his studies at the New School
for Social Research where he earned a
B.F.A. in 2005. His 1991 debut release,
Tough Young Tenors, was acclaimed as
one of the best jazz albums of the year, and
his artistry began to impress listeners and
critics alike. He has been a member of the
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra since
1998 and has performed, toured and/or
recorded with his own groups and with
such renowned artists as the Cab Calloway
Orchestra, Roy Hargrove, Hilton Ruiz,
Count Basie Orchestra, Illinois Jacquet Big
Band, Wycliffe Gordon, Marcus Roberts,
Wynton Marsalis Quintet, Isaac Hayes, and
many others. Blanding lived in Israel for
four years and had a major impact on the
music scene while touring the country with
his own ensemble and with U.S. artists
such as Louis Hayes, Eric Reed, Vanessa
Rubin, and others invited to perform there.
He taught music in several Israeli schools
and eventually opened his own private
school in Tel Aviv. During this period,
Newsweek International called him a “Jazz
Ambassador to Israel.”
Wynton Marsalis
Wynton Marsalis (Trumpet) is the managing
and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln
Center and a world-renowned trumpeter
and composer. Born in New Orleans,
Louisiana in 1961, Marsalis began his classical training on trumpet at age 12, entered
The Juilliard School at age 17, and then
joined Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.
He made his recording debut as a leader in
1982, and has since recorded more than 60
jazz and classical recordings, which have
won him nine Grammy Awards. In 1983 he
became the first and only artist to win both
classical and jazz Grammys in the same
year and repeated this feat in 1984.
Marsalis is also an internationally respected
teacher and spokesman for music education, and has received honorary doctorates
from dozens of U.S. universities and colleges. He has written six books; his most
recent are Squeak, Rumble, Whomp!
Whomp! Whomp!, illustrated by Paul
Rogers and published by Candlewick Press
in 2012, and Moving to Higher Ground:
How Jazz Can Change Your Life with
Geoffrey C. Ward, published by Random
House in 2008. In 1997 Marsalis became
the first jazz artist to be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in music for his oratorio
Blood on the Fields, which was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center. In 2001 he
was appointed Messenger of Peace by Mr.
Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United
Nations, and he has also been designated
cultural ambassador to the United States of
America by the U.S. State Department
through their CultureConnect program.
Marsalis was instrumental in the Higher
Ground Hurricane Relief concert, produced
by Jazz at Lincoln Center. The event raised
more than $3 million for the Higher Ground
Relief Fund to benefit the musicians, music
Jazz at Lincoln Center
industry-related enterprises, and other individuals and entities from the areas in
Greater New Orleans who were affected by
Hurricane Katrina. Marsalis helped lead the
effort to construct Jazz at Lincoln Center’s

education, performance, and broadcast
facility devoted to jazz, which opened in
October 2004.

aptitude for the instrument. This love for
piano led to his first gig with Echoes of
Joy, his father Casper’s group. He picked
up the trombone at age 11 and hasn’t put
it down since. He graduated from
Thomson High School in 2001 and
received his bachelor’s degree with

Joshua Redman Still Dreaming
March 31–April 1 at 7pm & 9:30pm
Joshua Redman—one of the best known saxophonists in the world—embarks on his latest
musical project with the “Still Dreaming” quartet.
This new group features Ron Miles, Scott Colley,
and Brian Blade, three of the most imaginative
voices in contemporary jazz. Together they will
interpret the “Old and New Dreams” quartet of
the 1970s and ‘80s, a renowned quartet of
Ornette Coleman alumni that included Joshua’s
father, Dewey Redman. With repertoire consisting of Ornette Coleman compositions and original
works, their music was honest, uninhibited, and
completely engaging in its unpredictable live execution. Tonight, Joshua Redman fulfills his
birthright and explores his heritage by adding a
new perspective to this historic material.
Redman’s all-star group is the perfect match for
the occasion, and the close personal connection
will make it an especially memorable evening.

THE APPEL ROOM
Michael Feinstein: The Unforgettable
Nat “King” Cole
April 5 at 7pm / April 6 at 7pm & 9pm
With hits such as “The Christmas Song,”
“Unforgettable,” “Nature Boy,” and “(Get Your
Kicks On) Route 66,” Michael Feinstein—known
as the Ambassador of the Great American
Songbook—explores the artistry of quintessential
crooner Nat “King” Cole. With the Tedd Firth Big
Band and special guest vocalists, Feinstein will
channel the extraordinary qualities that made Cole
a star on stage and on screen. Vocalists include
crooner Denzal Sinclaire and Loston Harris.
Sinclaire joined the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis in 2015 for its
Big Band Holidays tour, and he recently performed a critically-acclaimed tribute to Nat “King”
Cole. Harris is a suave vocalist and gifted pianist,
an Appel Room veteran, and a 2017 headliner at
Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. Audiences will enjoy the
songs, incredible stories, charismatic showmanship, and masterful piano playing that defined
Cole’s career, as Feinstein launches the sixth consecutive season of the best-selling Jazz & Popular
Song series.
ROSE THEATER
Buddy Rich Centennial: Celebrating the
Jazz Drum
April 7–8 at 8pm
Ali Jackson will invigorate the Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis in a virtuosic display of big band drums and rhythm. To
open the evening, Jackson will arrange the music
of Buddy Rich, an innovative big band genius who
would have turned 100 this year. Rich was a
renowned musical powerhouse for most of the
20th century, influencing generations and offering
a visceral excitement that few drummers could
capture. Tonight, Jackson and special guest drummers will do justice to that legacy. Jackson’s
encyclopedic knowledge of jazz styles ranges
from the earliest American drum cadences to ragtime, marching bands, West African traditions,
Brazilian music, the Detroit jazz tradition, and
Afro-Cuban styles. For the program’s second half,
audiences will witness the world-premiere of
Jackson’s Living Grooves: A World of Jazz
Rhythm, an extended piece written in the innovative spirit of drum greats like Rich. It promises to
showcase the juxtaposition of raw energy and
refined technical skills that define the best big
band drummers. The drum set will be featured
not only as a driving, propulsive force, but also as
a melodic solo voice in inventive and unexpected
ways. Given Jackson’s unparalleled knowledge of
his instrument, it promises to be a unique and
memorable way to celebrate this very special
occasion.
