entered The Juilliard School at age 17, and
then joined Art Blakey and the Jazz
Messengers. He made his recording debut
as a leader in 1982, and has since recorded
more than 60 jazz and classical recordings,
which have won him nine GRAMMY

only artist to win both classical and jazz
GRAMMYs in the same year and repeated
this feat in 1984. Marsalis is also an internationally respected teacher and spokesman
for music education, and has received honorary doctorates from dozens of U.S. universities and colleges. He has written six

Joey Alexander
Born in 2003 on the Island of Bali, Joey
Alexander (Piano ) was introduced to jazz at
an early age, listening to Louis Armstrong
and Harry Connick, Jr. Alexanders musical
talents soon came to the fore when he
started learning the keyboards at age six,
studying classical music, but his tendency
was always to swing. Due to the lack of
jazz education where he lived, he began
playing jazz piano mostly by ear at age
seven. As his parents regularly took him to
jam sessions where senior musicians in
Bali would ask Alexander to join, his musical
intuition and love of playing jazz grew.

NYC music scene with his unique voice on
piano and dapper sense of style. Batiste

Bill Cosby
Aaron Diehl
Columbus, Ohio native Aaron Diehl (Piano)
seeks to stand out in his era as an artist to
exemplify quality, authenticity, and a fluency in the American musical vernacular.
The 2011 Cole Porter Fellow of the
American Pianists Association, Diehl has
been hailed by the New York Times as a
smart young pianist with a fastidious grasp
of jazz traditions. He is committed to
unearthing the treasures of a rich musical
language through collaborative efforts with
artists across generations.
Born in 1985, Diehl grew up in a nurturing
musical environment. His grandfather, pianist/
trombonist Arthur Baskerville, was his first
influence. Diehl began studying classically
at age seven, and discovered his passion for
jazz music while attending Interlochen
Summer Camp. There he met piano
prodigy Eldar Djangirov, who made a lasting
impression on Diehl through his enthusiasm
for Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum.
In 2002 Diehl was a finalist in Jazz at Lincoln
Center's Essentially Ellington competition,
where he was awarded Outstanding
Soloist. The following year, he was invited
to tour with the Wynton Marsalis Septet on
their European tour. A 2007 graduate of the
Juilliard School, he studied with Kenny
Barron, Oxana Yablonskaya, and Eric Reed.
He is a Martin E. Segal Award recipient.
Diehl released his first live album in 2008, a
solo concert recorded at the Caramoor
Festival. In 2010 Live at the Players featured
two of his working triosDavid Wong and
Paul Sikivie on bass, along with Quincy
Davis and Lawrence Leathers on drums. His
latest release, The Bespoke Man's
Narrative, (Mack Avenue) is the current
product of Diehl's ensemble cultivation,
influenced partly by John Lewis and the
Modern Jazz Quartet. He is the 2013 Jazz
Journalist Association's Up-And-Coming
Musician of the Year Award recipient.
Jon Faddis

musician, conductor, composer, and educator. Marked by both intense integrity and
humor, Faddis earned accolades from his
close friend and mentor John Birks Dizzy

the best ever, including me! As a trumpeter, Faddis possesses a virtually unparalleled range and full command of his
instrument, making the practically impossible seem effortless. Born in 1953, Faddis
began playing at age seven, inspired by an
appearance by Louis Armstrong on television. Meeting Dizzy Gillespie at 15 proved
to be a pivotal beginning of a unique friendship that spanned almost three decades.
Shortly before his 18th birthday, Faddis
joined Lionel Hamptons band, moving
from Oakland, California to New York.
Faddis worked as lead trumpet for the
Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, formed
his own quartet, and soon began directing
orchestras, including the GRAMMY
Awardwinning United Nation Orchestra,
the Dizzy Gillespie 70th Birthday Big Band,
the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars, the
Carnegie Hall Centennial Big Band, and the
Chicago Jazz Ensemble. He has also
served as guest conductor and featured
guest with the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra. Faddis distinctive trumpet
appears on hundreds of records and
numerous soundtracks for film and television. His recordings as a leader include the
GRAMMY-nominated Remembrances
(Chesky 1998), Hornucopia (Epic 1991),
Into the Faddisphere (Epic 1989), and
Teranga (Koch 2006). Faddis remains true
to the tradition of honoring mentors, regularly leading master classes, and clinics
worldwide. He is a full-time faculty

Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal (Guitar, Vocals ) is a composer,
multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and one of
the most prominent and influential figures
in late 20th-century blues and roots music.
Though his career began more than four
decades ago with American blues, he has
broadened his artistic scope over the years
to include music representing virtually
every corner of the worldWest Africa,
the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, the
Hawaiian islands, and more. What ties it all
together is his insatiable interest in musical
discovery. Over the years, Mahals passion
and curiosity have led him around the
world, and the resulting global perspective
is reflected in his music. Born Henry St.
Claire Fredericks in Harlem on May 17,
1942, Mahal grew up in Springfield,
Massachusetts. His father was a jazz
pianist, composer, and arranger of
Caribbean descent, and his mother was a
gospel-singing schoolteacher from South
Carolina. In addition to piano, the young
musician learned to play the clarinet, trombone, and harmonica, and he loved to sing.
He discovered his stepfathers guitar and
Pedrito Martinez
Pedro Pablo Pedrito Martinez (Percussion)
was born in Havana, Cuba in 1973. He
began his musical career at the age of 11,
performing with such Cuban legends as
Tata Guines and Los Munequitos de
Matanzas. Bandleader Jane Bunnett
brought Martinez to Canada in 1998, and he
remained in North America to pursue his
career. Two years later, he won first place in
the Thelonious Monk Institute Competition
for Afro-Latin Hand Drumming.
A consummate master of Afro-Cuban folkloric music, he does not just play the obligatory handful of standard bat rhythms; he
plays the monumentally complex Oru seco
exquisitely on each drum, or on all three at
once. Martinez is also the worlds first-call
rumberoplaying, singing, and dancing
with dozens of groups, performing on
more than 100 recordings, and contributing
to or appearing in several important films,
including Calle 54 (2000) and Chico and
Rita (2010). Equally at home in popular
Mark OConnor
Mark OConnor (Violin and Leader of Mark
OConnors Hot Swing) is a multiGRAMMY Awardwinning American jazz,
folk, and classical violinist, composer, and
author. His orchestral concertos and symphonies have received more than 500 performances around the country, and his
million-seller Appalachia Waltz is one of
the most loved string pieces since Barbers
Adagio. OConnor is also an eloquent
spokesman for the role of the arts in
society and a keen observer of the evolution of American music. The OConnor
Method - A New American School of String
Playing has joined the Suzuki method as
the most popular method to learn from
around the country, as students respond to
the cultural proximity of the American
musical material featured in the method.
OConnors new CD, An Appalachian
Christmas, has just been released.
Shannon Powell
Shannon Powell (Snare Drum and Leader of
Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band ) is a
highly sought after drummer and percussionist who has achieved international
acclaim for his commanding technique and
style, rooted in the characteristic funky
drum beats of New Orleans. As a youth
growing up in New Orleans storied
Faubourg Trem, home to many of the
citys jazz performers, Powell was surrounded by music. By age six, Powell was
playing drums regularly for his church, the
First Garden Christ Church. It was a natural
transition from the raw spiritualism and
rhythms of his church to the driving
grooves of traditional New Orleans jazz.
Soon after, he began visiting and performing at the historic Preservation Hall
alongside local legends such as Ci Frasier
and Freddie Coleman.
Dianne Reeves
Dianne Reeves (Vocals ) is one of the preeminent jazz vocalists in the world. As a
result of her breathtaking virtuosity, improvisational prowess, and unique jazz and R&B
stylings, Reeves received the GRAMMY
Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance
for three consecutive recordingsa
GRAMMY first in any vocal category.
Reeves was featured in George Clooneys
six-time Academy Awardnominated Good
Night, and Good Luck, which chronicles
Edward R. Murrows ongoing confrontations with Senator Joseph McCarthy. The
soundtrack recording of the film provided
Reeves with her fourth Best Jazz Vocal
GRAMMY Award.
She has recorded and performed extensively with the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, who said
of Reeves, She has one of the most powerful, purposeful, and accurate voices of
this or any time. Reeves has also
recorded with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim
Marcus Roberts
Marcus Roberts (Piano) is from Jacksonville,
Florida. He has always been influenced by
the early exposure to his mothers gospel
singing and the music of the local church.
Roberts lost his sight at age five. His parents
bought him a piano when he was eight
years old, and he was self-taught for four
years. He decided that he wanted to be a
jazz pianist after listening to the music of
Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Mary Lou
Williams, and others on the radio. After
graduating from high school, he left
Jacksonville to attend Florida State
University, where he studied classical piano
with Leonidus Lipovetsky. While at FSU,
Roberts won the young artists competition

Educators annual conference. The next year
he won the Great American Jazz Piano
Competition, followed by first prize at the

JLCO Hosts: Christian McBride &
Kurt Rosenwinkel
May 2324 at 8pm
For the second JLCO Hosts concert, Music
Director Wynton Marsalis and drummer Ali Jackson
present the compositions of a pair of Philadelphiaborn, post-Boomer virtuosos: 2014 GRAMMY
Award nominee, bassist Christian McBride and guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel. Rosenwinkels JALC debut
will culminate a musical relationship that began two
decades ago at Smalls in Greenwich Village, where
Rosenwinkel refined his unique guitar sound and
influential compositions, blending dense harmonies,
gorgeous melodies, and complex forms with, as
Jackson states, a very conscious and present
understanding of the blues and what the blues are in
jazz music. Himself the leader of a big band that
earned a 2012 GRAMMY Award, McBride will continue a relationship with JALC that began in 1995
when he met Marsalis while still in high school. The
full Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra appears.
Free pre-concert discussion, nightly, 7pm.
