Wynton Marsalis Quartet

"The acclaimed trumpeter charmed the capacity crowd."--Philadelphia Inquirer

Big news for his many Columbus fans: the Wexner Center brings back Jazz trumpet star Wynton Marsalis and his quartet for two sets. Jazz trumpet star Wynton Marsalis is back and better than ever. With a renewed sense of purpose after signing to legendary jazz label Blue Note Records, Marsalis is touring to support his new release, The Magic Hour. This CD features the remarkable quartet you'll see onstage here, with pianist Eric Lewis, bassist Carlos Henriquez, and drummer Ali Jackson. On this visit, Columbus fans can catch Wynton in a more intimate concert hall, where his warm sound and the band's tight interplay will make for a special night of listening pleasure.

We strongly advise you to get tickets early. The smaller venue means the best seats will sell out quickly. And many of you will want to catch both shows, since Marsalis is definitely a player who doesnít cover the same ground twice.
