Wynton Marsalis Enso Ceremony at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center
In the Jazz Capital of the World---the exciting preparations for New York Honoree Wynton Marsalis are in their final stages. I'm most grateful to Wynton and Jazz at Lincoln Center for the energy, soul and attention to detail they are infusing the ceremony that Wynton will be hosting in the elegant Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. I look forward to the acoustics of this world class facility when I play my musical tribute for him. And I know the Enso will vamp then spin softly across the breath-taking Manhattan skyline. Wynton is having his grand Steinway specially tuned just for the event. For the exclusive invitation-only reception a beautiful folding card of the Enso of the Tokyo skyline was sent. The photo accompanying this blog post shows the image.
