Last night we played the third and final performance of "Marsalis and the Masters", our opening concerts for Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2026–27 season. Here’s my solo on Chick Corea’s “Humpty Dumpty,” one of the pieces I arranged for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for this concert. Tomorrow, we hit the road for a month, starting on the West Coast. We’ll be playing in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Monterey, Rohnert Park, Cincinnati, Columbus, Lincoln, Brookings, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. In Cincinnati, we’ll join the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cristian Măcelaru for another performance of my new Liberty Symphony. The program will also include my Violin Concerto, performed by Nicola Benedetti with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in a reimagined version for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Follow us here as we make our way across the country, and visit for dates and more information.

Last night at the Blue Note New York was pure magic! Here's a clip from our set, where the intimacy of the venue allowed us to truly connect with every single person in the room. We’re just getting started with our residency here... The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the Septet will be performing two shows every evening at 8:00pm and 10:30pm from June 11 to 16. Come on down, bring your friends, and let's make some memories together. See you at the Blue Note!

Nearly 40 years ago we started building Jazz at Lincoln Center with a belief in the power of this music and the people who carry it forward. This morning on CBS Mornings I spoke about the transition ahead and what comes next. Here’s a moment from that conversation.

On January 2009, The Honorable Sandra Day O’Connor and I filmed short clips discussing the relationship between the U.S. government and jazz music. The result was broadcast on Martin Luther King Day during Jazz at Lincoln Center’s “Let Freedom Swing!” concert in Washington D.C., on January 19, 2009. Sandra Day O’Connor, the first female U.S. Supreme Court justice, died today Dec. 1 in Phoenix.
