Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

W skład grupy Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalisw chodzi piętnastu najlepszych współczesnych solistów i członków zespołów jazzowych. JLCO to niezwykle wszechstronna orkiestra – pod przewodnictwem Wyntona Marsalisa, dyrektora zarządzającego i artystycznego w Jazz at Lincoln Center, wykonuje szeroki repertuar: począwszy od autorskich kompozycji i utworów jazzowych powstałych na zlecenie Lincoln Center, skończywszy na niespotykanych, historycznych kompozycjach i arcydziełach artystów, takich jak Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Thelonious Monk, Mary Lou Williams, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Charles Mingus. JLCO, rezydująca w Jazz at Lincoln Center od 1988 roku, występuje i prowadzi wydarzenia edukacyjne w Nowym Jorku, na terenie Stanów Zjednoczonych i na całym świecie. W ramach licznych tras koncertowych muzycy odwiedzili ponad trzysta miast na sześciu kontynentach, często towarzysząc orkiestrom symfonicznym, zespołom baletowym, uczniom i licznym zaproszonym artystom. W roli dyrygentów gościnnych zespołu występowali Benny Carter, John Lewis, Jimmy Heath, Chico O’Farrill, Ray Santos, Paquito D’Rivera, Jon Faddis, Robert Sadin, David Berger, Gerald Wilson i Loren Schoenberg. JLCO przez cztery lata z rzędu (2013–2016) wybierano na najlepszy Big Band w dorocznym plebiscycie czytelników „DownBeat”.

W 2015 roku Jazz w Lincoln Center uruchomił wytwórnię Blue Engine Records, która ma za zadanie udostępniać miłośnikom jazzu na całym świecie archiwalne nagrania koncertowe.
