Dublinjazz.ie are once again thrilled to bring to you Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra. This is likely to be the last chance an Irish audience will get to see Marsalis and The Orchestra perform together after the recent announcement that Marsalis is to step down from his role as head of Jazz at The Lincoln Center in 2027 after nearly 40 years.  

It is now 10 years since the passing of Ireland’s greatest-ever jazz musician, guitarist Louis Stewart. Jim Doherty has gathered together some of the musicians who worked closely with Louis to pay tribute to his memory. These include Dave Fleming, bass, Myles Drennan, drums, Richie Buckley, sax, and singer Honor Heffernan.
