Wynton Marsalis

Internationally acclaimed trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and educator Wynton Marsalis is one of the most influential voices in jazz today. He serves as Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Director of Jazz Studies at The Juilliard School, and President of the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation.

A native of New Orleans, Marsalis launched his career with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers before emerging as a global ambassador for jazz. Since his 1982 debut, he has released more than 130 recordings, earned nine Grammy Awards, and became the first jazz artist to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Through his performances, compositions, and lifelong commitment to education, Marsalis has inspired generations of musicians while championing jazz as America’s original art form.
