The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO), comprising 15 of the finest

jazz soloists and ensemble players today, has been the Jazz at Lincoln

Center resident orchestra since 1988. Featured in all aspects of Jazz at

Lincoln Center's programming, this remarkably versatile orchestra performs

and leads educational events in New York, across the U.S. and around the

globe; in concert halls, dance venues, jazz clubs, public parks; and with

symphony orchestras, ballet troupes, local students and an ever-expanding

roster of guest artists. Under Music Director Wynton Marsalis, the Jazz at

Lincoln Center Orchestra spends over a third of the year on tour. The big

band performs a vast repertoire, from rare historic compositions to Jazz at

Lincoln Center-commissioned works, including compositions and arrangements

by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Thelonious Monk, Mary

Lou Williams, Billy Strayhorn, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Charles

Mingus, Sy Oliver, Oliver Nelson and many others. Guest conductors have

included Benny Carter, John Lewis, Jimmy Heath, Chico O'Farrill, Ray Santos,

Paquito D'Rivera, Jon Faddis, Robert Sadin, David Berger, Gerald Wilson and
