Joe Martinez

Acclaimed trumpeter Wynton Marsalis needs little introduction. The New Orleans native has made it his mission to keep big band jazz orchestras fresh and vital, and he does so by attracting the world’s finest players. The Chicago Tribune calls the Lincoln Center Orchestra “the greatest large jazz ensemble working today.” The show is also somewhat of a homecoming for pianist Dan Nimmer, who grew up in Milwaukee before putting down roots in New York City. Opening is the Badger High School Jazz Ensemble of Lake Geneva.
