Big Band Holidays: Music on Jazz at Lincoln center:

In this much-anticipated annual tradition (not to mention the official Rose Theater homecoming of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra), the JLCO with Wynton Marsalis offers swinging performances of holiday music. The JLCO will debut new arrangements of familiar songs sacred and secular, from Count Basie’s “Jingle Bells” to classics like “White Christmas” and “Zat You Santa Claus?” Big Band Holidays travels the country annually, spreading holiday cheer in a tour that includes a four-show run in Rose Theater. Extraordinary guest vocalists Denzal Sinclaire and Audrey Shakir join the festivities. A Juno Award nominee and National Jazz Award recipient, Sinclaire is regarded as one of the most dynamic voices in jazz, making important contributions in the continuum of the great jazz crooners. Shakir is one of the greatest bebop singers in the world today, an unrecognized talent with a thrilling voice, sure to send elation through the audience. A long-time friend of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Shakir made her first appearance at the opening festivities of Frederick P. Rose Hall and has performed with artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, and Pharoah Sanders. She is also an early inspiration to her son, veteran JLCO saxophonist Walter Blanding. Together with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, they share the stage of Rose Theater to celebrate “the most wonderful time of the year.”

[@Detroitmamma]

What is his name?

[@Soda19]

@@Detroitmamma Denzal Sinclaire. Kind of reminds me of Nat King Cole

[@mindisaction]

There's no music that could be listen to after this!!!... Only the silence!. This is the sound of a large heritage. And as well as I could feel long time ago watching live a Wynton Marsalis octet over thirty years ago... long time tradition was watching over us. 😥 Just Unbelievable!

[@supertastybites8158]

Awesome musicianship! I love big band jazzy Christmas tunes and the funny stories about Santa were an extra bonus. Thank you Wynton and the JLCO orchestra!

[@linazhou7965]

[@karlhungus5554]

Wow, Denzal Sinclaire is phenomenal! And, as always, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra is also superb.

[@jesusalfonsoosunaceballos6402]

Gracias, muchas gracias por este bello concierto. Thank you very much.

[@Ryan-lv9zp]

I've played the second peice before, justvery simplified and it was a concert band, and we didn't have a singer

[@brendanmatthys]

This is so awesome!

[@colettetoutant5179]

Excellent concert! Avec l'humour de M. Marsalis, c'est une encore plus sympathique!

[@evertonmachado5543]

Wonderful Show!!!

[@peterwrohr1388]

Just perfect, love big band, play in one myself. But this is a step up again from most concert videos. It’s a live concert but the sound engineering makes it sound like a studio session.

[@zodstube]

Wow. I did the live mix of this performance. Thank you for noticing.

[@paulbelfrage876]

Pure Class!!!

[@nickbryant2318]

Such a big sound but so smooth

[@elliotdvillarrealsr4992]

Brass music is so awesome. ✋🏾

[@brendanmatthys]

Wynton is such a monster!

[@alfredoremus4409]

El espectáculo que dan estos enormes musicos en este espacio maravilloso es una muestra mas del nivel artístico musical de los Estados Unidos.

[@khansincera69]

[@samkjolhaug1993]

[@robcary2808]

The entire session is terrific. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" at 51:44 is THE hippest...mind blowing! it swings out of this world :o) Unbelievible musicians.

[@jamesjarvis3328]

YES YES YES! And I cannot find a separate recording of it anywhere and it's killing me!

[@iztokmislej8569]

[@KimberlyFarnsworth]

I love the music. I just wish I could hear Wynton Marsalis better. Need captioning or better audio.

[@joelhenderson4450]

After he heard these vocalists, Michael Bublé began a silent retreat of repentance.

[@XU23]

Didn’t know Nat King Cole was singing with them these days

[@jacekr2655]

I felt that, too.

[@warrenginmartini]

Michael Buble, eat your heart out!

[@user-cc2sn2yk5q]

το ωραιοτερο:σαηλετ ναητ,που ακουσα ποτέ!!!!

[@miguelherrera6762]

Why is there a big change in the video quality at 35:54 it goes from very bad to perfect?

[@peterhamlinhamlin8908]

Nat King Cole! McCoy Tyner! Jon Coltrane! I had closed my eyes trying to get some midnight sleep then woke wide awake to young 21st Nat...... with Wynton???? Only problem was his comparative grammar???

[@user-kx6md9ep8w]

Trombone ,어떻게 옜날악기 구입 했으며 음정과 ,너무낡아서 손잡이부분 이흐믈거릴것갓아요,소리는잘나는지요,,

[@tessasweet5792]

Sinclair has a beautiful smooth voice... But at least in this performance it lacks that little bit of Oomph needed to really SWING with this FANTASTIC BIG BAND .......

[@user-cc2sn2yk5q]

ο δευτερος,τραγουδιστης ειναι,ή τραγουδιστρια;πολυ καλος κι αυτος,πάντως.

[@justined1596]

Nat King Cole is Alive !!!

[@thissignupisretarded]

Who is playing lead for Ryan, and what is up with Ryan?

[@Conrad76]

Greg Gisbert

[@yfbfhfiewhfipuhpsidu]

Conrad76 this is in no way an attack on his playing, Ryan is one of my favorite trumpet players of all time, but I've never heard play screaming lines like some of the stuff Greg was doing. I'm asuming he's just there to help Ryan out with that sort of thing

[@trollza21]

This was when JALCO was transitioning lead trumpeters from Ryan to Greg Gisbert, as the 2015 season was winding down, Ryan's last few gigs with JALCO were coming up, and greg was in line to be his successor, so he sat with him during shows to help smooth the transition.

[@HADJEE]

He has been, "Wyntoned".
