New York: What to See & Do: Performing Arts: Jazz at Lincoln Center

Jazz at Lincoln Center

Jazz at Lincoln Center moved into its new home in the Time Warner Center in the fall of 2004, and it is a must visit for music lovers. Under the artistic direction of Wynton Marsali, the orchestra performs better than ever in its incredible new setting. Try to see a concert in the Allen Room, where musicians stand before the four-story-high windows; listening to jazz riffs with an electric-cityscape backdrop can elicit goose bumps in even the most jaded. It’s great urban music played live before a great urban scene.
