Voices--from jazz, blues, cabaret and gospel--dominate Jazz at Lincoln Center's 2010-11 season, its 24th, to be announced on Tuesday by that organization.
“Last year there were a lot of piano players in the season," said Wynton Marsalis, artistic director at Jazz at Lincoln Center. “Some years it just works out a certain way. The piano is the foundation of musics composition, and singing is the human connection."
The subseries Visionary Voices will present a string of shows at Rose Theater, including concerts by Bobby McFerrin (Nov. 12-13), Dianne Reeves (Feb. 10-11) and Sweet Honey in the Rock (April 15-16, 2011). Jazz and Popular Song, a three-night series, will be hosted by the cabaret singer Michael Feinstein. “Michael's a first-rate scholar on the connection between American popular song and jazz, Mr. Marsalis said. “His concerts will deal with the intersection of both."
