Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Present BASIE AND THE BLUES.
When Count Basie led the charge out of Kansas City in 1936 he showed the world a whole new way to play the blues. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and special guest pianist Cyrus Chestnut bring Basie to life through the ingenuity of arrangers Sy Oliver, Don Redman and Neal Hefti. Emerging vocal star Gregory Porter will be on hand to interpret the great legacy of Basie blues singers like Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams.
