Jazz Ambassadors: The Music of Duke, Dizzy, Brubeck, and Goodman

What do Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, and Benny Goodman have in common? Beyond their status as jazz legends, they were also global jazz ambassadors, touring extensively internationally and expanding the art form’s worldwide reputation and appeal. Jazz at Lincoln Center will explore these four artists’ music, stories, and motivations with their trademark swing and style.
