Performance: Sean Jones

One of the brightest shining stars among New York’s jazz elite, Sean Jones was chosen by Wynton Marsalis as lead trumpet for the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Steeped heavily in 21st century modern bop, Jones delivers a rich, full-bodied tone, lucid improvisations and passionate nuances. He is joined by his quartet for this performance. Don’t miss this hot, new trumpet sensation.
