JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Monday at 9 pm 9/3
Benny Waters: Innovation In Longevity
9/10 Gerry Mulligan: Intricacy In A Lower Register
A principal figure in the cool jazz movement of the '50s, saxophonist/composer/arranger Gerry Mulligan (pictured) composed for and performed on the legendary Birth of the Cool sessions with Miles Davis. He was also well known for his influential piano-less quartet, which featured trumpeter Chet Baker. He popularized the baritone saxophone as a solo instrument. As a composer, he enriched jazz with Bernie's Tune, K-4 Pacific, and others.
9/17 Bud Powell: Bebop Pianism 9/24 Abbey Lincoln: The Power Of Voice Few singers have the emotional depth of Abbey Lincoln (pictured). And few are as versatile. With a voice capable of evoking the joy and pain of life, Lincoln has been carving a niche as a singer, songwriter, storyteller, actress and survivor during her career. Her own story speaks of hardship and finding herself. Interviewees include Ms. Lincoln, Max Roach, and Benny Carter.
JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER WITH WENDELL PIERCE Tuesday at 9 pm 9/4
Bobby McFerrin: VOCAbuLaries
McFerrin (pictured) fills the stage at the Rose Theater with his composition for a rhythmically charged, internationally cast, 48-voice choir. This sprawling work evokes African chants, gospel energy, Motown soul, minimalism and jazz polyphony. The exhilarating performance also features a role for the Rose Theater audience.
9/11 Chucho Valdes and The Afro Cuban Jazz Messengers 9/18 Cyrus Chestnut, Russell Malone and Christian McBride: Three in One 9/25 Frank Foster and Songs of Romance
We remember the late tenorman, composer and Basie alum Frank Foster (pictured.) in one of his last performances with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Singers Dennis Rowland and Marlena Shaw guest on Black Coffee, Perdido, and Foster’s own classic Cecilia is Love.

9/12 Remembering Stephanie Grapelli
During the 1930s, violinist Stephane Grapelli (pictured) founded the Quintette du Hot Club de France with legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt. And Grappelli went on to discover a young English pianist named George Shearing. On this delightful Piano Jazz from 1990, Grapelli and McPartland duet on George Gershwin favorites I Got Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me, and Oh, Lady Be Good.
9/19 Mimi Fox Guitarist Mimi Fox (pictured) is a rising star and a champion of the jazz guitar tradition. With amazing chops and crystal clear tone, Fox is equally at home playing bebop or ballads. Her compositional skills shine on her tune, Perpetually Hip, and with McPartland and bassist Gary Mazzaroppi, Fox tears up the fretboard on What Is This Thing Called Love?
9/26 Pianist/Composer/Arranger Jesse Green
