Artist Stories

JAZZ ROOM’s Miles Davis Centennial Celebration on April 17–18 something more than a tribute concert. It’s the living continuation of a musical lineage that runs directly from Miles Davis through Wallace Roney Sr. to the young man who will be on our stage.

Jazz legend Wynton Marsalis has announced he will step down as Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2027, marking a historic leadership transition for one of the world’s most influential jazz institutions.

This season, we’re proud to feature alumni who have been part of our story over the years, showcasing their talents in a special Alumni Show on November 22nd and 23rd. Join us as we honor these talented artists who are taking the jazz world by storm.

This Women’s History Month, we are honored to recognize a true champion of Women in Jazz, award-winning drummer and band leader, Sherrie Maricle. The leader of the DIVA Jazz Orchestra (DIVA) and Five Play, Sherrie Maricle, is not only recognized as an internationally renowned jazz musician but also as a powerful advocate for women in a field that has historically been male dominated.

We are thrilled to have acclaimed saxophonist Joshua Redman kicking off JAZZ ROOM Season 19… Here are a few highlights from Joshua’s conversation with our own Curtis Davenport.
