Notes on the Program
By Greg Thomas
Miles Davis is a 20th-century icon with a
protean musical legacy. With one note, his
lyricism gripped the heart’s attention. His
spacious solos gave room for life’s mystery. Over six decades he proved to be a
stylistic shape-shifter akin to Picasso in the
visual arts; Davis was never content with
complacency. He followed his artistic
muse, from varieties of jazz in an acoustic
vein from the late 1940s to the mid-’60s, to
electronic music fusing rock, pop, funk, and
even elements from the soundscape of the
German classical composer Karlheinz
Stockhausen in the late-’60s through 1991.
Walt Whitman’s memorable statement, “I
am large, I contain multitudes,” could have
been Davis’ epitaph.
The challenge of adequately representing
the span of Davis’ music is daunting, a
challenge met this evening by the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra, various arrangers
in the big band, and the co-musical directors, trumpeter Marcus Printup and drummer Ali Jackson, whose visions crosspollinate the order of the selections. “We
would need five to ten shows to really
cover Miles,” says Printup, “but we’re
striving to compact it into one presentation.” Jackson agrees. “The important
thing is to represent his body of work in a
way that meshes well as a presentation,
which can include tempos, keys, eras, and
the treatment of the arrangements.”
Jackson’s focus is on significant small
Davis bands, starting from the 1950s with
Art Blakey, Horace Silver, and Percy Heath,
followed by Miles’ curving flow with the
rhythm section of Red Garland, Philly Joe
Jones, and Paul Chambers, and several
successive tenor saxophonists. Jackson
also references the second major Miles
quintet with Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter,
Tony Williams, and Wayne Shorter.
“Miles was a master of selecting musicians,
finding talent, and creating an environment
through which they would all create,” Jackson
explains. “To me, Miles was unique, individual,
and a great representation, through his sound,
of the introspective. But he was extroverted in
checking out a lot to find his own voice. As he
developed, he just kept working on his concept and his objective in playing. That’s what
makes a great artist: when they have a perspective and a direction.”
Printup co-signs: “Miles Davis played what
he wanted to play. That’s what I admired
about him the most. He never conformed
to what others wanted him to do, and his
music, and even his appearance, was
reflective of the times. That’s a testament
to a strong artist.”
Whereas Jackson centers on Miles’ style
with small groups, Printup has selected
compositions by or associated with Miles
from the ’40s, ’50s, ’60s, ’80s, and ’90s.
These will demonstrate the textures of
Davis’ approach and sensibility, from fleet,
many-note melodies to egg-shell-soft ballads to numbers with a backbeat groove.
However, Printup and Jackson both found
difficulty incorporating some of Miles’ electronic music in tonight’s context.
“I like his music from the ’70s,” Printup
says, “but for the flow of the concert I didn’t feel the vibe of how to make that work
with a big band.” Of Bitches Brew, for
example, Jackson emphasizes that “It’s
not that you want to exclude it, but it’s not
easy to create that sonic vibe, in this environment and time frame.”
Miles Davis influenced the course of
American musical development over and
over, as his singular muse thrived on the
social and cultural currents of his time. Yet
there was indeed a constant, according to
Printup: “If you hear his sound in 1947 to his
sound on You Won’t Forget Me, his last
recording as a sideman with Shirley Horn in
1991, it’s the same Miles, the same sound.”

JOE MARTINEZ
Meet the Artists
Marcus Printup
JOE MARTINEZ
Marcus Printup (Music Director, Trumpet)
was born and raised in Conyers, Georgia.
His first musical experiences were hearing
the fiery gospel music his parents sang in
church. While attending the University of
North Florida on a music scholarship, he
won the International Trumpet Guild Jazz
Trumpet competition. In 1991 Printup’s life
changed when he met his mentor, the great
pianist Marcus Roberts. Roberts introduced
him to Wynton Marsalis, which led to
Printup’s induction into the Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra in 1993. Printup has
recorded with Betty Carter, Dianne Reeves,
Eric Reed, Madeline Peyroux, Ted Nash,
Cyrus Chestnut, Wycliffe Gordon, and
Roberts, among others. He has recorded
several records as a leader: Song for the
Beautiful Woman, Unveiled, Hub Songs,
Nocturnal Traces, The New Boogaloo,
Peace in the Abstract, Bird of Paradise,
London Lullaby, Ballads All Night, and A
Time for Love. He made his screen debut in
the 1999 movie Playing by Heart and
recorded on the film’s soundtrack. August
22 has been declared “Marcus Printup
Day” in his hometown of Conyers, Georgia.
Ali Jackson
Ali Jackson (Music Director, Drums ) developed his talent on drums at an early age. In
1993 he graduated from Cass Tech High
School and in 1998 was the recipient of
Michigan’s prestigious Artserv Emerging
Artist award. As a child, he was selected as
the soloist for the “Beacons Of Jazz” concert which honored legend Max Roach at
New School University. After earning an
undergraduate degree in music composition
at the New School University for
Contemporary Music, he studied under
Elvin Jones and Max Roach. Jackson has
been part of Young Audiences, a program
that educates New York City youth on jazz.
He has performed and recorded with artists

featured on the Wynton Marsalis Quartet
recordings The Magic Hour (Blue Note,
2004) and From the Plantation to the
Penitentiary (Blue Note, 2007). Jackson collaborated with jazz greats Cyrus Chestnut,
Reginald Veal, and James Carter on Gold
Sounds (Brown Brothers, 2005), which
transformed songs by indie alternative rock
band Pavement into unique virtuosic interpretations with the attitude of the church
and juke joint. He has been a member of
the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra since
2005. Jackson currently performs with the
Wynton Marsalis Quintet, Horns in the
Hood, and leads the Ali Jackson Quartet.
He also hosted “Jammin’ with Jackson,” a

Wynton Marsalis
Wynton Marsalis (Trumpet) is the managing
and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center
and a world-renowned trumpeter and composer. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in
1961, Marsalis began his classical training
on trumpet at age 12, entered The Juilliard
School at age 17, and then joined Art Blakey
and the Jazz Messengers. He made his
recording debut as a leader in 1982, and has
since recorded more than 60 jazz and classical recordings, which have won him nine
Grammy Awards. In 1983 he became the
first and only artist to win both classical and
jazz Grammys in the same year and
repeated this feat in 1984. Marsalis is also
an internationally respected teacher and
spokesman for music education, and has
received honorary doctorates from dozens
of U.S. universities and colleges. He has
written six books; his most recent are
Squeak, Rumble, Whomp! Whomp!
Whomp!, illustrated by Paul Rogers and
published by Candlewick Press in 2012, and
Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can
Change Your Life with Geoffrey C. Ward,
published by Random House in 2008. In
1997 Marsalis became the first jazz artist to
be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in
music for his oratorio Blood on the Fields,
which was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln
Center. In 2001 he was appointed
Messenger of Peace by Mr. Kofi Annan,
Secretary-General of the United Nations,
and he has also been designated cultural
ambassador to the United States of America
by the U.S. State Department through their
CultureConnect program. Marsalis was
instrumental in the Higher Ground Hurricane
Relief concert, produced by Jazz at Lincoln
Center. The event raised more than $3 million for the Higher Ground Relief Fund to
benefit the musicians, music industry-
related enterprises, and other individuals
and entities from the areas in Greater New
Orleans who were impacted by Hurricane

UPCOMING EVENTS
Jazz at Lincoln Center’s
Frederick P. Rose Hall
May 2016
ROSE THEATER
THE APPEL ROOM
The Ray Charles Songbook
May 20–21 at 8pm
At age 21, trumpeter and music director Kenny
Rampton (of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra)
launched his touring career with a nine-month
stint in Ray Charles’ band. Tonight, Rampton honors his former bandleader by presenting the most
authentic Ray Charles experience possible. The
band is full of Ray Charles alumni, the set lists are
faithful recreations of actual Ray Charles sets, and
the charts are transcribed from the original tour
music. In addition to heart-stopping vocals by The
Raelettes—Charles’ historic group of female
singers—the rhythm section is composed almost
entirely of distinguished vocalists who will sing
both together and individually, including blues guitar legend Bill Sims, 2012 Thelonious Monk
International Jazz Drums Competition winner
Jamison Ross, and two-time Grammy Award–
winning pianist Diane Schuur, who shared a personal kinship with Charles.
Free pre-concert discussion nightly at 7pm.
Miles & ’Trane Festival
Joe Lovano: The Spiritual Side of Coltrane
with Special Guest Ravi Coltrane
May 13–14 at 7pm & 9:30pm
It’s been a little over 50 years since John Coltrane
released his magnum opus, A Love Supreme. The
four-part suite is regarded as one of the greatest
albums of all time and is a masterpiece of improvisation. Tenor titan Joe Lovano grew up listening
to Coltrane and has found lifelong inspiration and
involvement in this unparalleled music. As we
approach the musical giant’s 90th birthday,
Lovano pays homage to the spiritual side of one
of his earliest inspirations, alongside an all-star
band of Brian Blade, Geri Allen (5/14 only), Tom
Harrell, Steve Kuhn (5/13 only), Andrew Cyrille,
longtime Coltrane colleague Reggie Workman,
and special guest saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, himself a Grammy Award–nominated creative force.
Free pre-concert discussion nightly at 6pm &
8:30pm.
Body & Soul: America’s Unforgettable
Crooners
May 20–21 at 7pm & 9:30pm
Bing Crosby, Nat “King” Cole, and Mel Tormé are
three great masters of the canon known as “The
Great American Songbook.” Their velvety voices
and mastery of sentimental serenades made
them the quintessential crooners of the 20th century, but their respective landmark achievements
across the mediums of radio, television, film, and
recording made them legends. Music director
Bryan Carter and his stellar ensemble, featuring
vocalists Denzal Sinclaire, Benny Benack III, and
Charles Turner, pay tribute to these geniuses of
song. The show features new arrangements by
Carter and a 22-piece ensemble that reflects both
a hard-hitting big band sound and lush strings.
June 2016
THE APPEL ROOM
Michael Feinstein: Sing Me a Swing Song
June 8 at 7pm / June 9 at 7pm & 9pm
“Popular music was never the same after artists
like Frank Sinatra regularly started to swing
American standards,” asserts Jazz & Popular
Song series director Michael Feinstein. For our
final installment of the season, “Sing, Sing, Sing,”
“Mack the Knife,” and “Satin Doll” celebrate
what he describes as “the enduring influence of
swing on popular music and song interpretation.”
Joining Feinstein will be the Tedd Firth Big Band;
Allyson Briggs – a multilingual and multi-talented
vocalist who captures a long lineage of swing tradition; and Catherine Russell – a vocalist extraordinaire who headlined four Appel Room concerts
in April 2016.

Time Warner Center, 5th floor.
